Play in front hub
My 2010 Sahara Unlimited was in an accident that damaged the left front including the wheel. The repair shop replaced the front axle housing, tie rod, drag link, lower control arm and supposedly replaced the hub assembly. I got the Jeep back last Friday and it looks like new. The bodyshop did a really good job but now I can feel play when moving the top of the left front tire in and out.
Is there any adjustment to the bearing play on the Jeep front hub? Or does the hub assembly need to be replaced (again or for the first time for real)?

There is no adjustment for the hub bearings.
Have you seen the actual point of play when someone wiggles the tire?
I would take it back and let them look at it, too.

Rocking the front side-to-side by grabbing the top of the tire I can see the brake disk move in relation to the brake disk guard. Definitely play in the hub bearings.
