has anyone here had their front wheel bearings go out on them? if so did both brake calipers look loose when riding? Like when u look at them everyonce in a while they would move like half an inch out? I lifted the bike up today to check to see if the rim/rotors were bent and every thing is straight. Im kinda confused. Im new to workin on bikes.

iv already lifted it in to the air to spin it to check if its straight, it doesnt look outa line. Iv had the bike bout 3 months, when i first rode it the right caliper moved as if the rotor was warped, but it wasnt that bad and i didnt feel any thing in the handle bars from it, but a couple of weeks ago the left one started to move to, i know that the left rotor is not bent, iv tried to tighten the calipers, thier tight, iv tried to tighten the axel nut, that was tight. Also the guy that owned the bike befor me did a lot of wheelies, so i now the front end has been slamed a lot

If your bearings are are blown, you will start to hear the brakepads touching the discs when you do corners.
It's an easy job to take off the front wheel to inspect the bearings. Put a finger into the bearings and check if they move easily.
If they are really worn out you should see it visually.
