Finally got around to replace the one spindle I suspected as being bad with a new one and at the same time replaced the original ball joints, springs and powder coated the control arms. Test drove it and found all is well, no loose wheel bearing like before. Upon closer inspection of the suspect spindle; I found the hub nut spun on very easy compared to the new set and approximately where the nut would tighten where the bearing would be, it was very loose and looks like the threads had worn or fretted in that one spot and with sufficient side force probably jumped a thread causing the looseness. I did an internet search and found there was a recall notice for 1974 Jensen Healey's JH74-8 that said there were some poorly machined hub nuts with bad threads; so my 74 JH may have missed this recall. https://howtune.com/recalls/jensen/healey/1974/
