Jacked my truck up and my wheel literally has 2 inches of play in any direction. What happend was when i put the main axle bolt bolt back on with the impact gun, it didn't tighten enough and left slack on the wheel. There alot of rust on the threads so in turn wore my wheel bearing out. I'm putting a new wheel bearing in today. $170 from autozone made by Timken. Might need a new CV shaft and they only run $70 but wont know till i get it off today. I'll post a vid i took of the amount of play i had in my wheel, it was pretty disgusting.
