Hi guys - had the '74 AZ on a lift today and I have play in both sides front wheel bearings. I know the bearings are cheap but does play mean they are typically in need of replacement or do they just work loose over time on 914s?
Thanks! |

I would take the rotor off, check the bearings and races and if they look good, lube and reinstall. If they get loose again, then replace.
