play in rear wheels xj8 1998

can anyone tell me why I have play in the rear wheel of my jag. I have tire wear on the front and have replaced all the bearings both front and rear but still have play ( top to bottom in the rear wheels ) it doesnt appear to be in the bottom joint or the bearing is this normal. I also have a hard pull to the left which is wearing the front left hand tyre outer edge amd the rear right hand tire outside edge. I want to put new tires on it but until I can solve this problrm dont want to easte the money, can anyone help please ?

what bearings did you just replace,the rear bearings ar not as simple as remove and refit,they need to be shimmed,chances are the bearing is bad,or if hey have just been done that they may have been done poorly
