Thanks and regards
Remove the uprights from the car.
Clean the parts with non residue spray ... electric motor cleaner.
Take a Q-tip and some medium super glue and make a thin layer around the plastic there the outer race of the bearing rests. Let it dry and try to fit the bearing ... if it's still lose... add another layer . Make sure you let the glue dry completely before attempting to fit the parts together.
Shimming the bearings on the axle will not remove the slop in these parts , only puts undue stress laterally on the bearings but will make them move together. Not solving the problem just causing others. Good luck with that one.
