    So I decided to replace the rear wheel bearings in my, new to me, 200k mile 2004 Tundra. This along with new springs, shocks, and brake rebuild including new back plates.

    I bought a bearing kit but decided to upgrade the bearings and found some new NSK bearings #9036340068, which I have installed.

    After installation of one of the new NSK bearings, I wiggled the new back plate to compare against the old bearings and was surprised to feel about 1/2 as much "play" as in the used bearings. I expected NO play in the side to side wobble.

    Does anyone know how much tolerance there should be in a new bearing?
