Checking the condition of wheel bearings (Opel Corsa C)

14. Pull the front wheel with both hands at the top and bottom edges - the presence of any noticeable play indicates a weakened/damaged wheel bearing or suspension components. Ask an assistant to firmly press the foot brake pedal and repeat the check - if the play disappears or is reduced to a minimum level, then you should take care of the bearing, otherwise check the condition of the articulation units of the suspension components.


15. Grasp the front and rear edges of the wheel and repeat the above check - if the play disappears when the brake pedal is depressed, the wheel bearing should be tightened or replaced, otherwise check the condition of the steering gear components (see paragraph 11).
