Has anyone experienced excessive play in a newly installed rear wheel bearing? During the restoration of my 72 I installed new bearings. The left rear has no play and the hub rotates smoothly. The right side seems to have excessive play and with the car on the lift I can wiggle the tire and wheel left and right about 1/8th of an inch. Thinking I might have damaged the bearing during install I ordered another one. Yes I bought decent quality from Pelican and not a made in china cheapie. Again I carefully pressed in the bearing feeling confident it was not damaged but once again the hub rocks while the other side doesn't. Thoughts?

1. Same thing happened on my 911 many years ago.
2. Have you put it on the ground yet ? If not, lower and torque to spec. Torque to 217 then dial it in till you line up the next cotter key slot.Then see what you have.
Maybe. But I kind of doubt it.
3. Ditto on FAG
