rear bearings....?

[sweet911]

Hi Guys
While working on the front end of my 83 911sc I decided to remove my A/C components and hoses as well. In removing the compressor line going through the passenger side rear wheel-well I noticed the rear wheel was extremely wobbly, I haven't had a chance to investigate it any further but would that be a bad bearing? If so, do I now have to change bearings on both sides?
I've also gone on our host site and there are two choices 999 053 020 01 M34 and 999 053 020 01 M92, Any preference, both prices seem reasonable but is one better than the other? Just one more question, has there ever been a thread on replacing rear bearings on a 911sc ?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Joe

Just did the fronts on our '86.

Here's a link for the rears, not as simple as the fronts:

Good luck,

hi,
Try the nut first to see if it is torqued up properly, with that much slack you should have heard a noise of some sort.
Hope this helps.

I've only read 6 pages, but what a great thread.
