Been looking at other possibilities..

Basically, jacked the passenger side front wheel up and there is loads of play in the wheel, vertical, horizontal... so its going to be the wheel bearing i think?

Could I just buy a second hand hub from Cam_Suzuki and replace the whole thing, therefore not needing to buy a tool that I will use only once?

Is there a way of telling if my Jimny has ABS? I dont think it has as ive never felt the juddering pedal...

Its a 2001 Y-reg.

Dont wanna buy the wrong hub!

Mines the 2001 and y reg with no abs, not sure if its the same with jimnys as other vehicles but when you turn on ignition check for abs light then? All my previous cars with abs had check lights on the dash.

No light on the dash and looking at the ABS hubs they have a "cog" rotor behind the wheel studs... so im pretty sure mine doesnt have ABS.

Hub ordered from CAM Suzuki, get that fitted ASAP!!

Got a hub and knuckle from Cam Suzuki...

Only wanted the hub part so separated them... all done, even managed to do it in my single garage!

Not a bad job but that swivel hub grease / oil really does stink ha ha!

All sorted now, no more wobbly wheel!
