wheel movement SIII

Hi

I have just spent the best part of 2 weeks (on and off) replacing the lower RH swivel bearing on my SIII because the nasty man at the MOT garage told me it had worn! There was movement at 12 and 6 o clock, but none at 3 and 9. So after swearing lots and getting grief off the missus for not decorating the nursery this weekend (which is needed in about 3 months) its done, and everything is put back together. i have no movement and 12 and 6 o clock, but now I have some at 3 and 9 o clock.

What could be the cause, and will it pass the MOT?

Ta, Paul

It could be a track rod end, but under the circumstances I'd suspect a slightly loose wheel bearing. Nip it up a bit, making sure not over tighten it.

Passing the MOT is down to the particular tester's opinion on the matter, but in theory there should be no play.
