Yup, that same one has play back in it - that said I wouldn't mind a 2nd opinion on it, as not sure how much play is too much play.

Defo need to change that track rod end - makes sense to replace that after hub, to save removing it again, and potentially damaging new trackrod

No need to remove track rod to change the hub, just drop the caliper off, unbolt caliper bracket, remove disk then remove hub.

Its much quicker if you loosen the hub nut before jacking up the car and dismantling the brakes. Grin

The one we fitted was a good make...you been clouting curbs or something?

Quick job if you can get up here.

No curbing, but roads aren't well maintained around here. I'd also be lying if I said it hadn't seen any sideways action Embarrassed

I could have sworn yesterday that there was also play in the OSF hub, but not there today Undecided

- reckon I'm going slightly mad! Grin

Would it be the trackrod end be the reason why its a 'bit' wandery in a straight line?
