Order of execution
1. Alternately, firmly grasp the upper part of the wheels, which are securely on the ground, and try to move them in a plane transverse to the car.
2. With flawless bearings, there will be practically no play.
3. If there is a gap, then have your assistant press the brake pedal hard and shake the wheel again: if there is no more gap, then the reason is only in the wheel bearing.
4. If, despite this, there is a gap, then the wheel suspension must be checked.
5. Defective wheel bearings attract attention with noise during operation. Which bearing is damaged is best checked on a raised vehicle. A wheel with a defective bearing attracts attention with rough noises during operation.
Tip: Rear wheel bearings on front wheel drive models can be adjusted. This cannot be done with the rear wheel bearings in the quattro models, nor with all front wheel bearings.
