Where do you measure the wheel bearing play?
You can raise the vehicle front or rear and move the wheel back and forth and up and down, so as to feel for play. Excessive play in the wheel indicates loose components, whether a wheel bearing or tie rod or ball joint. If there is excessive play moving the wheel left and right, then could be a tie rod. If there is excessive play up and down, then could be a ball joint. If there is excessive play all around, then could be the wheel bearing.

Generally a grinding sound can be heard from the offending wheel at first. If a wheel bearing is suspect, jack one side of the car up at a time and grab the wheel at the 12 and 6 o'clock position and see if the wheel has excessive play on the horizontal axis. If there is play, then a wheel bearing failure is likely.

If the steering wheel shimmy's at 55 -ish, then the front tires need balancing.

You can jack the front end and check for play by grabbing the wheels with tires on shimmying the wheel left and right(tie rod). Up and down(ball joint) or excessive play could be the wheel bearing. Any excessive play indicates loose components.

Need more information. Are you referring to wheel bearings, transmission bearings, differential bearing, etc. Also what type of vehicle is this? If your talking about front wheel bearing on a front wheel drive car, there are no specs or adjustments. Any play means the bearing is bad. Same goes for most 4WD vehicles. Front wheel bearing on a rear wheel drive also should not have play but if they are in good shape, they can be repacked and tightened to spec.
