Hi, on my 96 300tdi discovery the front wheel bearings seem rather loose, in that there is quite a bit of "wobble" with wheel jacked up and wobbling wheel by hand. It is more than I would accept myself say with my older 110 or 2a ( I normally set it so that there is just detectable loosness / wobble when grasping tyre top & bottom by hand). The workshop manual uses an dial gauge to set the end float / bearing tightness which I don't have.. Should I just set it to how I think is correct, ie tighten them up a bit? or is it critical to use a dial gauge? the front hubs seem identical to my 86 110 (except for ABS sensors etc), if it was my 110 I wouldn't think twice about adjusting it.
Thanks, Andrew
