possable wheel bearing

I did all the checks for wheel bearing and anything else I can think of related.

All item are at torque, removed tire and caliper. With tire on and off, have play wobble 3&9, you can see the CV doing the same from the back side at the same time. No sound while turning the hub, so don't think it's the bearings.

Is this normal, passenger side does this and the driver doesn't.

Edit... While tire mounted and on the ground, do have some minimal up and down movement on the CV axle, but, no rotational play.

No sounds at all on the CV at all, just minimal movement pushing on them up/down/front/back.
It has all the symptoms of bearing/housing play w/no noise on rotation.

I just ordered another housing/bearing setup for both sides. Figured all the abuse I put this ride through, just change them. I run spacers on them also.
 
Usually play at 3 and 9 is a worn tie rod although could be wheel bearing. When mine when out it was 12 and 6 play and you could hear bearing noise while turning the hub while on jack stands.

I though that as a possible also, but, no movement at all there.
Just very dominate movement on wheel and CV section on the spindle.
Wobble 3-9/12-6/10-4.
I come from working on old school cars and wheel bearings is the normal symptom, just no bad bearing noise with it.
Will report back when I replace them.
 
Follow up here... I guess I caught them in the beginning stage as to not driving on them for a long time in order to start to make all that grinding sounds and all.

Yes the bearings had minimal play on them, and when removed couldn't feel any crunching yet while turning.

Problem solved.
