    vs commodore V6 S2 and a BA XR6T
    hi a while ago i replaced one of my rear wheel bearings tryi9ng to diagnos a noise but wasnt iut, anyway it was the rear left (live axel), the bearing that came off had allot of play compared to the new on, however i replaced it with a kit from supercheap called "POWERTRAIN WHEEL BEARING KIT" i have checkd the wheel by pulling and pushing it when weights still on the car and the wheel has allot of play in it and the other side has bugger all, which still has the original beainrg. but when its jacked up theres no play. if that makes sence. theres no noises from the rear besides a big whirring spund which is my diff center haha been like that for ages as i didnt line up the crownwheel properly lol

    does this sound like cheap bearings? ive done about 10 000k's on it

    Sounds like a bush wear, bearing would be worse with no load.
