Brooklin427,

Good idea, that is how my rear hub carriers are done so the bearing is perfectly loaded. I have the spindle nuts so tight that I repack the bearings and check them about every other time out but still have the problem. I actually think it is flex in the spindle shaft and upright causing the issue.
