Tightened Lugs, but wheel still moves.
Okay, I have a 1994 Cherokee Sport and the left front wheel doesn't tighten up. I tightened all the lugs, but when I jack it up I can move the wheel around and I hear metal hitting metal.
What do I need to tighten?
Is something broken?

I don't know your skill level, it can be a challenge for novice, but still a do it yourselfer type project. Have some one help you check it out, jack it up and while the helper rocks the tire up and down, and side to side...look at the hub and the ball joints for the movement. It sounds like the hub bearing from what you stated originally though.

Writeup here. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/co...y-swap-129872/
Also a good time to check your axle seals... http://naxja.net/forum/showthread.php?t=937821
Not sure if that writeup mentions it or not, but a 34MM socket works perfectly to pound in the axle seals. I picked up a 34MM axle socket along with the 36MM socket from O'reily for around $10 each.
