Holy cr@p -- rear wheel bearing play w124

I replaced all the dogbone arms in the rear, much better now. At 226k there's a lot more to be done.

When putting on the passenger side rear wheel I noticed a LOT of play. The brake rotor/wheel move quite a lot when you grab the wheel at 12&6. I have felt bad bearings before but this feels almost like the axle nut is loose? Is that even possible. It drives fairly well and I haven't noticed the typical wheel bearing groan/roar. Wtf is that wheel so loose for?

Very concerned as I put 500miles a week on it and I do my best to look out for problems before they leave me stranded or in an unsafe situation.

This will probably be a job for the Indy either way.
