today when i got my tires mounted i noticed that the wheel was loose i thought it had not been tightened down yet so i grabbed it and i was able to wiggle the tire pretty good. Bad news is the lugs had been tightened down already so i had them pull the wheel off since it was still lifted and i tightened up the 2 rings on the axle. after i tightened them down it still had a small amount of play in it. all this time i thought it was squirley on the rd cause the swaybar. Is this for sure my wheel bearings? or could it be something else?

tie rod ends, ball joints, or bearings I would say.

Could be your wheel bearings or any of the things that NBM pointed out. With those manual hubs, it's real easy to pull the hubs apart, repack the bearings and put everything back together.

Did you get the Boggers fom Mousee?? If so, what wheels did you end up getting?
