  • Well, I suppose by 'loose bearing' play I mean small movement primarily along the axis of the spindle.

    I suppose I should say 'if I have tightened bearings and they still wobble, are they dead' - to which the answer is almost definitely yes - but don't really want the hassle of opening them up and adjusting them if they are already dead.

  • small movement primarily along the axis of the spindle.

    normally called 'end play'.

    Not sure how you would expect to have end play without any radial play ('rocking movement'). A small amount of end play is likely more noticeable than the accompanying radial play.
