wheel play vtr - Saxperience

Ive recently lowered the front end of my car, on one side of the front i just swapped the strut because I didnt fancy swapping my springs round.

My car is the 2001 mk2 and the strut is off a 2000 x reg vtr 90bhp engine.

Ive noticed wheel play in the wheel like the wheel bearing is fucked.

Is the wheel bearing fucked or isit because of the wrong hub?

Here is how to chek your wheel bearing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5khjK0y6PIw

Is there a reason why do you suspect the hub/driveshaft?

Id suspect the shaft or hub, you will have fitted nontapered hubs and used tapered shafts so they wont have a locked fit sorta thing.

Thats the reason that i think it is the hub, there is play such as when the wheel bearing has gone , but i reckon that it might be because of the shaft and hub not locking properly
