Hello…
I’m prepping for a trip to WV in a couple weeks. When I put my RZR up in the air I noticed the rear wheels felt like they had a good bit of slop in the bearings. I checked out the A-arm bushings first just to be sure, but the slop is definitely in the hub. Once I pulled the hubs off and separated them from the carrier, the bearing itself feels new. I can’t see any slop at all in it. It spins smooth, looks new(ish), and doesn’t have any percepatble wobble at all. Is there any possibility that theres slop between the hub itself and the bearing? I don’t want to replace bearings if they don’t need to be replaced.

I should add, the hub and carrier came apart SUPER easy. Removed the castle nut on the half shaft, unbolted the carrier from the suspension arms, and the whole ordeal just kind of fell apart. There was no beating the axle out of the hub/carrier or prying the hub and carrier apart. The hub came out of the bearing so easily that THAT is why I wonder if there is inherent slop there.
