Your have to allow for a little play so that the front wheels will turn. But VERY LITTLE play. Maybe a couple of thousandths of an inch. You should not be able to "feel" the wheel shuck back and forth. If you can, tighten the lock nut on the outside of the wheel. It's under the dust cap. Tighten it until the wheel JUST starts to spin hard. Then back it off the the next slot and reinsert the cotter pin.

Front wheel bearings in a car should be well greased but have never heard of them needing to be earthed.
can you grease the front wheel bearing s on a 2001 toyota corrolla without removing them. Is there a external greaese fitting.
don't you have a manual that can help us?
I have a 2004 prius and at present it has 285000 miles on it with very little maintainence . 1 set of plugs, 1set of front and rear brakes, 1right front wheel bearing and 2 left front wheel bearings.
well there's a little ring in front of the bearings
WRONG......Front wheel bearing replacement or repack is a pain in the butt. Best left for a trained technician. The last time I took mine for a brake test, the mechanic told me Toyota does not make them with wheel bearings Of course the truck has wheel bearings. Pull off the brake calipers and rotors and the spindle nut and the hub should slide out of the backing plate the bearing should come out of the hub. Your bearings should come in a set with a race; the race will have to be pressed out of the hub and the new race pressed in. Put it all back how it came apart.
Should be if undamaged.
Toyota rotor removalonce you remove hub assembly and bearings, inside the rotor the hub should be bolted to the rotor, six bolts. then separate hub/rotor.
With each brake job.
Probably the front hub bearings. I've replaced mine four times. Sounds great after they're replaced, but eventually the hub bearings start whining again. I'm not sure what the root of the problem is, but I'm beginning to suspect it's a design defect.
