How much play is acceptable in a wheel bearing?
My 90 is knocking from the Near side rear, mainly when i go over a bump or round a left hand bend ie the weight is taken from it.
If i grab the top of the wheel, and push/pull there is a fair bit of play there.
Ill have a proper look tomorrow - How much play should there be?

Hope everyone is well.
Got your new motor yet?
I had the same on my 110 rear a month or so ago, The LR workshop manual goes on about end float etc, can't be arsed with that (nor have I an dial) so I just did it so I could "just" feel movement at the top / bottom with wheel on, and a week later it passed its MOT, it was a bit of a ba**tard to get right, cos as soon as you tighten up the outer lock nut, the whole thing tightens up and you have to start again. So make it a bit looser with the inner nut, then you should be right.

What Andrew said.
On the Disco the nearside was much looser than offside and was, as he says. a right bastard to get just right. The offside just set first time as though I were a 'real' mechanic ... ;)
Barely detectable - and make sure it is the wheel bearings not the swivel bearings - they should have none.

If he's got swivel bearing on the NS rear wheel then he owns a very unique vehicle.

If I ever get the tuits to build the 6WD 4WS, it will have.
Let that be a lesson to me to read the post more closely!
