Yep. The particular dealer that was last in there was having amateur day.

Wow, that's crazy that a dealer didn't use the correct type of snap ring.

I'd bet the 2.2mm snap ring, has more than 0.20mm gap.

You may be right. Pass side done. I hit about 50 ft lbs on pass side to hit 14.5 BAPL on fish scale. Buttoned everything up. Checked for play on both sides. Driver side has a similar bit of slop as before I adjust bearings. And I hit 65 ft lbs on that side. I can’t tell for sure, but I think it’s a ball joint and / or control arm bushings. Allowing some slop that behaves like loose wheel bearings. I can hear the similar sound as the 12-6 play when I’m going slow over bumps or make slow tight turns. I’ve got my local dealer lined up to replace the control arms. Then I’ll recheck the 12-6 play. Hopefully it wont be there.

Yeah, I think that’s it. Balljoint boot was shredded when I bought it. I could see the ball has corrosion on it.
