Default Rear wheel Bearing how to check?

Took tire off to replace brakes and decided to check grasping rotor at 12 and 6 o'clock. There is some slight play. Think I recall this is the test for the front wheel.

Very small but, Is this normal? Is this a sign of bad bearings?

Oh yeah: Just as many have warned is, the anti roll bar poly links have compressed/worn down to maybe 1/8 inch. Just confirming what I've read here many times - these wear fast.

You should check bearing play with the wheel on.

Could be the wheel bearing or the bottom arm to hub link bearing as was the case on my car.

Three potential wear points:

1. Outer Hub Bearing
2. Inner Hub Bearing
3. Pivot Bearings
