Checking my front wheels for play, I found there was some amount of movement as I tried to rock them top/bottom, they typical check for balljoint wear. But the ball joints weren't worn.

Digging into it deeper, I found my wheel bearings were not adjusted properly. When I last repacked the bearings, apparently I got in a hurry and didn't set the bearing preload properly.

Not a big task to do but something that will definitely affect the way your car handles.

This is the shop manual pages from a 66 Ford Mustang, outlining how to set your bearings properly.

When was the last time you checked yours?
