Hi.

I had some play in the front wheel bearings on my W203 Coupe , I tightened them up last year and it worked fine.
Car is due for MOT soon , I checked the front wheels for play and I found quite a bit.

Still no noise from bearings just play , should i re-tighten or replace?

Last time when I tightened them I noticed that the surface of the bearings is showing some wear and copper is showing.

Thanks
 
Think you will need to replace,I always years ago adjusted wheel bearing once and then I renewed them,and so you are at the same place.
 
124k , unfortunately the previous owner fitted front discs on a rusty hub and warped them , might have affected wheel bearings.
 
Tighten them too much they don't last 500 miles.
