2011 Evo Rear Wheel Bearings

[tman427]

Crazy question. I have a small bit of play in the rear wheel bearings, very slight when I move the wheel side to side, but I can still feel it...is this normal? Can it still be ridden a few more time if it needs to be replaced? Will it do any damage to the wheel races the bearing sit in if I do?

Any on euse the AllBalls bearings on a Beta? Are they better than stock?

Plan on redoing this winter when the snow sets in, just want to get a few more rides in.

Thanks

Tom

Replace them now they deteriote fast when there is play if the bearing collapses when your riding it can burst the housing and wreck the hub

Usually wheel bearing deteriorate quickly, no one can give you a timeline with mechanical problems

It's easiest to say simply, they are shot right now

And Allballs is cheeeeep junk, there's a reason they are half the price of stock

I would hit the auto parts store and some good quality 6004 double sealed bearings
