Mic the spindles. Not sure what spec is on them though.... I would think that properly torqued, they shouldn't have ANY play.

Default That's crazy

I can't believe they would sell bearings that were not the right size? When you slid the new one on was it tight enough you had to tap it on?

anyway you can list the part number? Or the seller or something? I just bought another one today. It is a MOOG and it says OEM alternative but I don't know what is going to happen.

Default Replacement

The new one was loose. It also had the abs ring on it which my vehicle doesn't have. The moog part shows tomorrow. I can't believe they would sell stuff that doesn't fit. Are there spindles that this loose part does fit on? I just wonder why these people are still making these parts 16 years later.

Ok guys, for anyone else who reads this years later with the same problem. The first hub I ordered was cheap. It was part number 295-15084. I installed it correctly by sliding it on the spindle and torqueing it while in the air. After putting the tire on I had more play in the tire than before. I than ordered the MOOG version which says it is OEM equivalent. After installing this part it was PERFECT! Just make sure the part you order says OEM or OEM alternate. The previous part did not. The hub nut can be used up to three times and I secured it with locktite but that is up to you. Good Luck and thanks ryan.
