Worn bearings? video included... (1 Viewer)

Hi everyone, 07 LX, 175k, original front wheel bearings as far as I know. This is the outer bearing, driver side.

I can shift the rollers side to side as seen in video. Is this a sign of a worn out bearing? I have no other symptoms of bad bearings. No 12 to 6 movement when I shake tire, everything feels tight, the claw washer is not scored. I know how to set the bearing preload and I regularly pack and check my bearings when I'm in the hub. I've just noticed this amount of play...any input appreciated.

The looseness is not an indicator of anything. The rollers aren't tight until they're compressed between the outer and inner races.

If the rollers are all clean and smooth, and the races are clean and smooth, the bearing is still OK.

Thank You!
