I have just fitted the front bearings and wheels onto the axles and the bearings on 1 of the wheels are quite a loose fit in the wheel. So when the wheel is bolted onto the axle it is quite wobbly. Has anyone else come across this?

As you paying catch up, its always a good idea to first check the previous discussions

The upshot is (and after many have now completd and run their RB7), there has not been a problem as a result of a slight sloppy fit of the wheel bearings.

PTFE tape often works, but ensure that it's even otherwise it will create wheel bounce.

I ave found the loose bearings not to be a problem at all when running the car. Everything works great.
