Jealous!!!

If your heater core was bad you would have coolant inside your car on the carpets and you would have a sweet smell along with all of the windows would have a film of coolant on them. Probably the headgaskets GL.

99 LGT just hit 100,551. My old 96 Legacy L had 191,000 when I sold her and she ran great.

Well like I said it shouldn't have play at first, you should only hear a noise. The longer you drive on that bearing that is bad it will become lose. I did have a few that had noise for a week or two and were lose but I've also had a couple that werent lose right away. Just took some time driving on it. Note these weren't my cars but customers that didn't have the funds to replace the bearings. Once I hear a bearing noise I replace them as soon as possible. I have found that a bolt-in hub and bearing assy will become lose a lot faster than a press in type.

Hub bearings (Wheel bearing with an axle going through it) normally don't contain "play" when they're faulty.. You're thinking of a standard wheel bearing found on front and rear wheel drive cars (on the axle that isn't being driven) which are adjustable with the nut on the spindle.

 

Not trying to be a asshole but what kind of "Tech" are you? Lube? LOL. This statement is 100% false. Mostly any bearing that is at the "failed" point will have play in it. Take for instance the infamous GM bolt-in hub and bearing assy that go bad all of the time. When they fail they will have play for sure. The longer they are driven while bad the more "play" they will have. At first a bearing will create a noise then soon after they will become loose. This is true with the press-in and bolt-in type wheel bearings. It is true to say the tapered bearings in most every early American cars/trucks and even European&Japanese cars/trucks can be tightened up to remove the play. Just stating the facts.
