Your problem isn't the problem. Your reaction is the problem.
Is it just me or does it look like the wheel is moving around the lug nuts like the lug nuts aren't actually tightened down all the way.
Look closely at the bottom lug nut as it moves with the wheel........this might require some of you to zoom or enlarge.
Your problem isn't the problem. Your reaction is the problem.
That's exactly what mine are doing....
I just replaced the bearings in my 5 lug hubs because they felt loose and they still do, even with the new bearings.
I used Timken bearings.

What is a better bearing to use?

After reading the other hub rebuild thread, I'm beginning to think you just got the wrong bearings for the application, not that the bearings themselves were bad.
Could very well be, the thought has crossed my mind.
Either way the number and application (for these Timken's) was obtained using correct input info on Rockauto's website. I have no beef with Rockauto so far. They have been good to me.
The one thing that still burns in my mind is that they had too much play before I even took it down off the jack. Whereas the old rusty ones still have no play after 100,000 miles of service.
Hell even the tech at Sears made a note on the bill about the bearings being loose when I had the alignment re-done a day later.
Your problem isn't the problem. Your reaction is the problem.
Quality wise I'm still trying to figure that one out.
Design wise you want make damn sure it's a roller type bearing and NOT a ball type bearing. This becomes obvious when you consider the contact area of each design. Rollers have much more contact surface area for which to wear AND disperse force.
A year ago I returned two complete Timken hubs that developed too much play.
They were already assembled and simply bolted right on and torqued to 185 lb.ft.
I really am unhappy with Timken right now.
Thinking SKF ....gotta do some more research. Cant be that many companies making them and all the others are reboxing.
Your problem isn't the problem. Your reaction is the problem.
I'll try SKF, Brandon made my five lug hubs and they are dead nuts on, I checked em with some stockers I have and Timken Set 49 is what our trucks use.
I put the stock hubs on and they are tight, no slop.
I was able to drop the bearings into the hubs by heating them to 250 and putting the bearings in the freezer.

Koyo is a good brand as well.
Picking these up today, I'm not too comfortable running 120 mph with sloppy front wheels, I have been but

Thanks for the link. I followed and looked at it. I saw something that worried me. On the spec sheet for the SKF bearings it says its a double row ball type bearing. I'm really wanting to stay away from balls and use rolllers. Specs copied and pasted below.
I'm really hoping that it's a typo and they are rollers.
