do both fronts and be done with it
I dont know vit's but I think they are a sealed bearing ie not cup and cone, providing the play is not in the kingpin, the bearing needs doing and if one does good chance the other aint far behind it.

Vits are IFS  no kingpin.
Have you tried to tighten the bearing? should help for a little bit but I'd (and I'm about to on mine because it sounds like a WWI plane drone) replace both of them. I've always been told that when you replace one you should replace both. |

I've always been told that when you replace one you should replace both. The wheel bearing is a double tapered roller unit. It is not adjustable. Once there is play in them, they are shepped!! |

Left hand front bearings in mine have outlived the right by 3 years so far, replacing a pair is a fallacy |
