check your left wheel bearing for wear,if its worn it will allow the disc to move under load

its a brand new wheel bearing mate

i had the same problem, bought a brand new wheel bearing, new wishbone and new bushings and it was still the same.
how can you solve it? grind the wheel bearing.

recheck the hub nut is tight,theres got to be some movement somewhere to allow the disc to move

do you mean the bull joint not the bearing cos thats within the hub?
did you speak to dave on it when you bought yours?

ok mate i will check again ive checked twice already

Check all suspension bolts, this could cause play in the hub.
How new are the balljoints?

To mask the problem just now, grind a bit of the balljoint body away.
I dont usually tell peoplw how to mask things, but it gets you going, if you need the car.

ive never changed them but i would of thought they have been on the car for years

 

[Rory]

Try changing them.
There cheap enough and easy to replace.
Have a look at your wishbone bushes to see if they have corroded, could be causing big flex.
