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.
Check out the link in the Reated Links section, below. It has a list of parts required.
Rear wheel drive, any one piece of the steering linkage, tie rod ends being first on the list, and then pitman arm on the passenger side opposite the gear box. Front wheel drive, tie rod ends or the steering rack itself. Have someone move the steering wheel back and forth and look for the loose piece.
engine is worn out, carburetor secondarys not properly adjusted,worn valves,and the list goes on.
It depends on the manufacturer. Most rear wheel drive vehicle speedometer cables connect to a gear in the transmission "tailshaft". Front wheel drive vehicles may connect at another location on the transaxle or they may use an electronic Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) that sends a digital signal to the speedometer, in which case there is no speedometer cable. Other vehicles, such as the old VW Beetle, used a speedometer cable that connected directly to the front wheel. Unfortunately, there is no way to list what method was used by all vehicles.
Yes there are differences in the Chevy 2.8L engines. Without intending to do an exhaustive list, here are a few differences: The early engines were designated X and Z. The X engines were about 105 hp, the Z engines were around 130 hp. It varied some through the years. The X and Z engines all had carburetors, cast iron heads and distributor ignition. Engines used in Citations, Chevy Celebrities and Pontiac 6000 were for front wheel drive. Engines used in Camaros, Firebirds were rear wheel drive engines. Yes, there is supposed to be some minor differences in the engine blocks. They may have been used in other models, I'm not sure. In 1985 the Z engine was replaced with the W engine. It was fuel injected but still used cast iron heads and distributor ignition. It also was about 130 horsepower. It was used in 1985 & 1986 Chevy Celebrities and Pontiac 6000s as front wheel drive, and Camaro and Firebird as rear wheel drive. It continued in Camaro and Firebird at least until 1988. 1987 the W engine was redesigned for Chevy Celebrities and Pontiac 6000 with aluminum heads, the fuel injected system was modified some and it changed to distributor less ignition. That engine became the 3.1L engine in Chevy Celebrities and Pontiac 6000 in the 1990 model year. It also may have been used in other cars, not sure about that.
Actually, the correct way GM list in their service manual is to take off the engine dog bones, attach a pulling strap to the engine and hoist and roll it until you gain access. That is the same procedure for many SUV/Van GM front wheel drives.
all you need is a socket set and a c.clamp drive safe

First off, check your manual, usually it will list the models of your car i.e. AWD, 4WD, 2WD. If that doesn't work, check your vehicle for badges. A car with 4WD will usually say 4x4 or AWD. A car that doesn't have this badge, USUALLY doesn't have 2WD. A quick and easy way to find out, is if you live in an area where you are not disturbing neighbors, attempt to do a burnout on your driveway or somewhere where you aren't breaking any laws. If you press on your brake slightly, and press the gas, your tires should begin to spin.... In my case, the rear ones only spin, and they spin very easily. I can look outside my door and i see my front wheels don't spin, but the rear ones do. This indicates 2WD (Rear Wheel Drive). If my front spun, but not the back, 2WD (Front wheel drive) and if it was TERRIBLY hard, and i couldn't spin out at all, that indicates ALL WHEEL DRIVE. Because its almost impossible.
