Ive just noticed that there's a slight wobble on my front hub (s3 without grease nipples) ! took it off stripped it down all looks OK ,put it back together and drew a pen line around the back plate , spun the hub and it still has a slight wobble of about 1-2mm !!!!
you see it even more when the wheels back on ,very confusing ! anyone got any ideas what could be the problem ?

I take it that there is no play in the bearings
then I would check the spindle

No, its standard drum brake ! what i have noticed is when i put the hub and back plate together ready to tighten up the spindle nuts there is quite a bit of play when rocked side to side !!
