Would you still need a DTI gauge if you’re not changing the hubs or bearings ? I’d have thought the spacer would remain the same.
You should be able to adjust swivel Preload without removing the swivel from the axle but you will need to remove the swivel seal to give an accurate reading from the spring gauge . https://www.instagram.com/hustynminepark/ |

What sort of movement are you trying to fix? Swivels and CVs would give very different symptoms.
The "hub movement" is possibly wheel bearing or swivel pin, but I'd say more likely to be wheel bearing. |

It could be the swivel bearings themselves, you may have to delve a bit deeper and dismantle the hub . A bit of a pain but not too difficult , just be methodical and follow the book .
Plenty of threads on here on how to diagnose wheel play but of course now I’m looking I can’t find a link ! https://www.instagram.com/hustynminepark/ |

A DTi gauge is used (on a defender) to measure the end float and allows you to select the correct spacer to sit between the bearing races . The new single hub nut system uses this method . The older method used two nuts and didn’t require a dti gauge but instead used torque settings to get the correct pressure on the bearings . You can swap to the old system if preferred as I have done .
It makes changing bearings a lot easier for the DIY or bush mechanic and doesn’t require sitting around waiting for a mail order spacer Of the right size to arrive !! Either method is totally acceptable and nobody really knows why Land Rover changed it other than to simplify the manufacturing process on the factory floor . https://www.instagram.com/hustynminepark/ |

I should add that the old system does not require a spacer https://www.instagram.com/hustynminepark/
