Is a Clutch Release bearing suppose to be like this?

I just got a new throughout bearing in the mail... M-7548-A Ford CL bearing

Mainly because my last one was off centered and wobbled like heck.. if I held the large side and spun the smaller side. I thought it was busted. So I get this new one, and not to the same degree, but it is also somewhat off centered. When I rotate the smaller part, the gap between the two isnt a perfect gap..but seems to be more to one side..is that normal?

My brand new one does that too to a small degree. It is probably required due to the self-centering function.

thats how mine looked when i got it..does the center move a little from side to side on yours too

you hold it from one side it spins fine and from the other side its off center and wobbles a lot

mine did that too when i took it off, luckily the setup that makes it not wobble is the one that the car utilizes, the offcenter ****ed up part just stays still when the bearing is spinning

Yep Yep

Ok, just wanted to make sure I wasnt digging myself a hole by going ahead and installing this.

The other one was similar, but it wobble a crap load. This one seems to be more stable while holding either side compare to the one I removed. But thats probably has some to do with it being brand new.

Thanks guys
