Semi Girling front hubs

Tony, I completely agree. The n/s with the play is what I would expect since when everything is installed, there is very little play left. I suspect the issue lies with the bearing on the o/s which doesn't have nay play at all. The issue is that while it doesn't bind, I believe that it should have some play as there will be a build up of heat. In the end, I've ordered two sets of bearings and will replace at least the o/s. Even with my Minis, I remember backing off a bit after tightening. I just don't like a bearing that while not binding, doesn't spin as freely as it should. Personally, I don't think there is anything wrong with the Austin design. My motorcycles always just had caged ball bearings.
