Wheel bearings ???

[Big Dog Daddy]

My rear wheel bearings are showing some wear. I can fell a little movement when I grab the wheel. Not terrible, but definitely some movement. Mostly left rear. How far do you let them go before changing ? What brand is best to use ?

oem, I'd change them now

I just changed my brakes at 1046 miles and the bearing were still tight on mine.

Take the little dust seals out of the bearings with a pick carefully and pack them with grease. New ones come with basically no grease.

BDD- maybe you have already focused on this but I discovered on the Rhino with same type knuckle arrangement that you can get some movement in the knuckle that will give you a false impression of wheel bearings. When in doubt I jack mine up and put my finger in the knuckle slot between the knuckle and axle and rock it to see if that is the bearing movement and watch also the top knuckle bushings with a good light.

I am familiar with this but did not check as you described. Thanks for the heads up.

I bet it's those bushings at the top and bottom of the rear knuckle. I think they get some movement really quick. I always let them go a while before I mess with them. It's best to have someone else shake the wheel while you get in there and see what's moving. I got parts I didn't need one time, and didn't get the parts I needed because I thought I could see good enough without help. Seems to soon for wheel bearings, but you never know.
