Actually it had the same problem before the new bearings, that what I was
trying to fix. A slight wiggle when rocked by the top and bottom of the tire-
not the king pin, Tam pushes the brake and it still remains- that's how I know
it is the bearing. Thrust is correct. Tightened to 55 ft lbs. Everything
draws in fine. Could be the outer race fit though. The inner did seem to
drive in fairly easy. I will have to check that.

Still has a slightly loose wheel bearing. Anyone run into this before?

Hi Shawn--
Questions beget questions:
1.If things were fine in the past and this is a new problem I don't think the
issue is the length of the distance piece.
2.By "loose" do you mean there is "wiggle" with wheel jacked up and when
grasping the wheel top and bottom and rocking it?
3. Is the castle nut drawing up tight with no increase in drag and if so have
you added a washer or used a thicker one to give it more ability to tighten
things up?
4.Are the outer races fitting tightly inside the hub?
Best--Michael Oritt
