I had a similar situation in my Spitfire and it turned out to be a worn
wheel bearing. It has also been mentioned that the a worn axle shaft
would permit movement on the inner race.

Friends:
My 75 TR6 has a bit of play in the rear left wheel. With the car on
stands and the wheel held at 9 and 3 and 12 and 6 there's a bit of play
whereas the right wheel has none. I have not disassembled anything yet.
All bushings, springs, rear  end and many related parts are less than a
year old. Any adjustments possible to the bearing?
Thanks in advance
