possable wheel bearing

[having fun]

Doing a check on components as you should. tightness of bolts, rubber boots good, no leaks, ect.

Checked for wheel wobble on bearings on the front, and have a slight, and mean a slight wobble when putting extreme force to feel this.

Normally you don't have to put much force to get the wobble when bearings are bad or loose bearing nut.

Am I seeing this right? Bad wheel bearing? Everything else is all good and tight and not worn out. Have had the wheel spacers on for about 5 months and about 10k miles on them if that. Total 97k miles on the clock.

Any experiance with this pre going out signs?

Edit: When push and pulling the hub on the spindle, it has the same slight movement, you can feel it, but, can't see it move and have to push hard to do this. Is it just supposed to have this little play and never noticed it before?

Yo Len no experience on 4th gen but my 03 taco went out it was real loose and I could hear it with window down , kind of a louping sound . I thought it was trans at first , early signs ?

Hey Mike, glad to see your still alive on here. Yah it's a little strange. Not making any noise at all, and a little different than old school rides, as per say, what little I feel by hand push and pulling hard would tell me it's needs the wheel bearing nut tighten up ( old school). With this having the IFS/ CV'S just curious if it supposed to have that little slack in it. It would be different if I have already did a break down of this component already and could have a knowledge about perticulars things in this area.

Sorry man , no luck on search ? Have heard the deal with spacers but everyone's using them & haven't heard to many failure's ? No milk shake on the front axles ? Or any excessive oil or grease ?

Did the search thing before posting, didn't feel like being BLASTED by people like you. HAHA.

I hear about the spacers, but, that's why I posted time and mileage also, haven't been on there long enough to be a problem in my aspects. Done the boots after the first lift and changed the bands to the modified ones. No leaks at all, grease and oil free engine, trans, undercarriage. Just some grease from the grease zurks on drive line. I'm under this ride frequently to make sure I don't have leaks and fix immediately.

Nothing else I could think of why this has play, just hoping someone can chime in that this is normal or not.

Doh !! Not me I'm to stupid to search because I don't know the question . Well its gonna be same price on the fix whether now or later ?
