New wheel bearing, should I send it back?

[RustyTerry]

Afternoon all!

After spending a solid day and a bit removing my wheel bearing and hum on my Audi A6 c7 2014 I was just about to press the hub into the bearing and have noticed a bit of play in the bearing. I'll pop a video in to show what I mean. Not sure if it will be ok due to being pressed in and sandwiched in place.

What do you think fit it or send it back?

Thanks in advance

Audi front bearings are held in very tight by driveshaft and hub nut. A small amount of play might be noticed when it's out.

What make is it ?

It's a Frankberg bearing.

Never heard of them, and I know of most makes, so doesn't inspire me with confidence.

I'd only fit a good quality bearing on an a6, it will eat cheap ones up too quick.

Was it cheap? Where was it from?

Yeah it was cheap, super cheap. £30 from Amazon things are a bit tight at the moment which is the main reason for not paying someone to do it for me.

They have pretty solid reviews on Amazon

I'd only fit fag or similar.

Cheap is normally cheap for a reason.

I'm sure you only want to fit it once, so you know my answer.

Amazon is not a place I'd buy car parts from.

That will be normal. once you have the driveshaft hub nut done up it will be fine

I think the play will vanish once the drive shaft nut is tightened but I’ve never heard of them either.
British, German or Jap every time.
