font bearing

Forum: 

Hiya knowledgeable people Help
I have a 1996 Sporty.

The problem is with the front near-side wheel,i think it's the bearing that's on it's way out,i suspect this because there is some play in the wheel.IE,i can wiggle the wheel from the top,so my question is is there any other possible thing that it could be.If it is the bearing is it something i could do myself or is it a garage job?Also is there anywhere i can get a diagram of the front wheel set up for the purposes of doing it myself?
Last but not least my back window wiper has seized but not the motor it's self,is there any way to free this up?

Thx people Wink

Just as a foot note i tried the wheel wobble this morning & now it's not doing it :O,it's got me completely flummoxed as to why this has stopped.Has anyone else had the same problem?If so can you plz tell me what it was thx Blush

Either baring, or play in

Either baring, or play in one of the swivel mounts, where the hub assembly joins the wishbones. You need to jack the wheel of the ground and have a good lever about with a crow / jimmy bar to find out which.
Either job is something you can do on the drive with the right tools.
Find out which you need to do (or if it's something I've not thought of of course) then post for help. Will give you a step by step if I can (or someone els will if they see it first). Smile
