There was lots of movement when they were trashed out at 4000 miles. I changed another rear during deer season this winter. It was leaning in but only had very little movement. When I put a new one in, it straightened the tire back up also. I got 3000 miles out of that bearing. I guess I need to grease them more often but I'd like to ride all I can. Wheel bearings, 1 ball joint and 1 a-arm bushing, 1 air filter and multiple oil changes in 7500 miles. I pretty happy with it so far. Hopefully bearings will fix you problem. Ronayers.com for oem bearings is the cheapest I've found. Spend $99 and its free shipping and no tax unless you live in North Carolina.
