You can check your own wheel bearings with the wheel on.
Jack up the wheel and put your hands on opposite sides of the tire (like 9 and 3 o'clock) and try to shake it side to side at various points to see if there is any play.
You can also take the hub assembly apart, if you want, to check it the hard way. In doing so, you might find the real problem.

i know this is an old post, but rather than make a new post, I will ask anyway. I just installed a new spindle and am getting ready to put a new hub on also. Do i just slide the new hub onto the new spindle and torque the retainer nut down or do i need to grease anything first?
