A new hanger bearing was just installed in my truck listed above and the play is about 1/4 to 1/3 inch. See attached video. Is this normal? Thanks.

Hi,

That's a good question. To answer, yes that is normal. The bearing itself is mounted in rubber, so there should be movement.

Let me know if you have other questions or need help with anything.

Take care,

Joe
