Seems less tight than one would think being brand new. The center up and down play is not bad, but the interior race side to side seems more than you'd think (and is a little more than the old that way).
Not sure I am paranoid…there are various brown discolorations inside the rim of this thing, and a deep blue spot on the inner side of the outside race (one side only).
I don't know if that is a manufacturing artifact or what. Wonder if I should get a different bearing to be safe. This thing shake like a rattle if you shake it side to side (and is supposed to be new). I just find it worrisome that is has more side to side motion than the one that's been in there 20 years.
