In detail explaining thanks Stevey, and i agree with you on second hand parts, although the strut brace is the only scrap bit i used i took off all the arms and bearing of it and used my arms and replaced the bearing after noticing play on it, so with the new bearings in regards to audi c7 4g2 models torque it to 200nm plus 90° and leave it at that, no need to back the nut out quarter, is it silly if i went ahead and replaced the otherside bearing or would you leave it until humming noise becomes louder, i can barely hear the humming noise at 50km/h or at over 80km/h but it there very faint nothing concerning sometimes you think its the tyres grip but i do feel the grinding and when it comes to cars i like them to be top notch even slightest unusual noise would annoy me at first i thought it was the strut mounts thats how i ended up with broken pinch bolt but the mount were perfect it was the sway bar drop link that was knackered and making knuckles i have two spare strut mounts now

Thanks Gareth for your replay. Now that i am reading my own question, i don't understand what i meant sorry for confusion. I was pretty sure the bearing has excessive play out of tolerance but then I wanted to be sure as i don't own this car long, thought maybe its normal play on the new models i still went with my gut feeling and replaced the bearing on drivers side, it made huge difference more confined steer feeling even though the car has only 80kmiles the bearing was guessed, going to replace the passenger side tomorrow too, checking other sites they do suggest to change them 75k to 100k, there was no indication of how the car was handling and no sign or noise of wear of the bearing but as you can see in video the bearing was gone. I had to get a strut brace from scrap yard and the buddy gave me the whole kit with arms and all i took of the bearing of the scrap strut and it had exact same play on the bearing as my one thats why i was comparing two old bearings as the old strut on my car pinch bolt was stuck in i didnt bother trying to get it out instead i went and replaced it with another one from scrap. Thinking of replacing the rear bearings as well but ill leave that for another time Thanks

Hello lads. Sorry its my first post if it has been covered i have been searching Internet all day trying to figure out if the wheel bearing play youll see in this video is within tolerance or any of you experts would say its goosed i have a scrap bearing and it has exactly the same play on it is it normal 20210329_192419.mp4
