Apparently my car is a mountain bike now.

Because anytime I search for “rear wheel rocks side to side” it’s nothing but mountain bike issues.

Anyways, quick question but while addressing a rear end squeak I noticed the wheel studs turning left or right ever so slightly, enough to tap the opening on the brake rotors just enough to make a noise - we’re talking it rotating a degree maybe. Popped the dust cap off and it’s the cleanest part on my vehicle. Could this be a wheel hub assembly issue? Mind you all 4 are 11 years old and 87k miles so a suspension day is probably due.

*Note there’s no evidence when driving of feeling or sound, this was only when I took the wheel off itself did I notice.

Cat tax for your troubles

I went for hub assembly since my bearings are non serviceable. But the assemblies look cheep enough ...
