ok first off 92 jeep cherokee 2wd
2. i got my rotors turned today (death wobble was killing me pun intended)
3. when i put my rotors back on one has a little play(i can pull the rotors back and forth from the vehicle a bit) i tightened the bearing right
4. the bearing are less that 6 months old.
5. but i had bad dw before new stabilzer bar after new bearing
6 so should i just replace my bearing on that side or is there something else that would cause this

Sorry for being so long

DO you mean brake pusle? or death wobble. Two different things.

is the play you feel when you hold the tire at 12 and 6o'clock, or 3 and 9? 12-6 is a wheel bearing, 3-9 is a tie rod end.

do you have play in the rotor when the wheel is on or off because the wheel should hold the rotor tight thats what keeps it tight if its loose so arew your lug nuts

warped brake rotors caused my death wobble and when i pulled on the rotor from anywhere it moved in and out from the vehicle (i could seethe rotor moving when i pulled the rotor on the shaft (i drove the jeep whilago and no more shake after a year and a half

the 2wd drive has different rotors than i the 4wd. the luggs are made into the rotors instead of the rotors sliding over the hub or whatever it called

by the way when i put the bearing in (6 months ago) i didn't replace the race because they where smooth. but they weren't loose then. so i guess im going to buy another set of bearing

How much did the bearing's set ya back?!?!?

patnok

That's why you are supposed to replace the races AND bearings. Doing one or the other only leads to premature failure of the new parts .

bout 10 maybe 15 bucks. also i drove the jeep about a mile and checked again and nut was lose so tightend the nut and all the play has gone i guess something didnt fit right and the bumps set like it was supposed to be

You dont happen to have a pic of this rotor setup by chance?

Your describing the typical spindle type assembly, and was only available on very early 2wd XJ's as far as i'v seen. My rig was originally 2wd and had typical bearing unit assembly.

Just wondering if you have an early 2wd axle beam.

i could get a pic if my camara will work (never buy a camara on ebay)

Sounds like your got some rust or dirt on the spindle while assembling the parts back together. The bearings were not seated completely on the spindle and the bumps worked out the dirt and the bearings seated after you tightened the lug nuts.

As for your camera, I have delt with broken lcd computer monitor off e-bay. If you used Pay Pal to purchase your camera you have some recourse. E-bay and PayPal have a dispute resultution site where you can complain about the camera not working. I was able to get a refund from PayPal on my purchase.
