Just checked my LUK clutch kit and the bearing is a little stiff to turn and is not wobbly in any way.

Sounds like a duff bearing mate :(

Hi mate, i work at a BM dealership, and trust me, they're all like it. Everyone at work thought that at first when we came to fit one but thats how they are! It must be a new design.

They are even made of plastic these days. I don't know if the original is though.
