The front right wheel has a noticeable shake. The Tire Tech could not diagnose the problem, he just showed me the wheel has a "play" when mounted and of course it's not on the other wheels. Also, when I turn to the left, it makes clicking sound as if it touching something, like the stone shield. This only started happening after I changed the front bearings. I just had someone take a quick look but the person didn't see anything from just looking. What do you think is causing the "play" on the wheel and the sound? I don't feel anything on the steering wheel. You just hearing a noticeable humming sound while driving.

If you are hearing a humming sound while driving, it may be a faulty wheel bearing or a mis-installed wheel bearing. I would definitely go back to the repair facility that did the work for two reasons:
1)There is play in the wheel, which is a major safety concern
2)There is a humming noise, which is probably caused by the wheel bearing, so the problem was not fixed.

Goodluck.

This is a loose and or worn bearing, if not properly torqued when installed, it gets destroyed real fast. You need to re do the bearing. Torque to 217 ft lbs with a torque wrench.
