Rear wheel bearing Caravan

Mar 24, 2005 2 Replies

I have a 97 G Caravan with vibration at 60 mph and up - not through the steering wheel, but through the body of the van. Tire rotation makes no difference. One rear wheel has about 1/8" play top to bottom and left to right, the other is tight. I assume these wheel bearing/hub assemblies should be without any play whatsoever. Is this correct, and can this amout of play cause the vibration?



thks.


You are correct about the play. That's bad. Usually bearings get a little noisy when they are pitted, but yours may still be smooth, so they might be quiet.

Replace that wheel bearing. it is bad. comes with hub and all and is easy to replace
