So the story is i lowered my car on kyb gr-2 and h&r springs (every thing was fine). than took it in two weeks later to have an alignment done and they said they cant cause of a bad wheel bearing.

i got it up on the lift and my drivers side front wheel had a lot of play, up down side to side. looked to me like a bad wheel bearing like they said. So i got a new one and replaced it. now i have a new bearing and still have the same problem.

Does anyone have any ideas.
- possible bad 'new' wheel bearing (not likely)
- bad hub
- bad upper and/or lower ball joints

Can someone post a side profile picture of a 'good' hub so i can see the shaft to make sure mine was still ok?
