Lateral "play" on stans crest wheel

My front wheel has a little bit of lateral play (Stans Crest with Stans 3.30 hub). Through axle is tight, bearings are running smooth and play is definitely not in fork stanchions or headset. The amount of play is small and it varies at different points of the wheel's rotation.

Any suggestions?

Bearings are dieing - just replace them and it will be fine.

 

+1. Stans hubs use tiny bearings to save weight, and they develop lateral play long before they start feeling rough.

I agree - stupidest place ever to save weight...

 

Actually the best solution is just to swap the hub to a Hope.... much closer to bulletproof
