FIAT Bravo - Road Wheel Wobble - squibsquib

I changed my wishbone and track rod end today. After refitting I grabbed the wheel at 3 and 9 oclock and there was quite a bit of play with a slight banging noise but no play when i shook it at 6 and 12 oclock. I did not try this before i changed the wishbone and track rod end so dont know if it was like this before. Sometimes when I drive I get a bang from the same side and a droning noise coming from somewhere. anyone any ideas? the car is a 1997 fiat bravo 1.6. Thanks

Could this be case even though the steering seems ok? Woud it defo not be a wheel bearing? Thanks Allan

A wheel bearing would move equally at 12 to 6 and 3 to 9. Regards Peter
