I had a nice conversation with Butch Capps last night on this subject. His take, and I will try to be accurate, was that this is normal. As long as the bearings are good and the play is not excessive, leave them be. He also recommended against re-shimming them back to 0 clearence. His take was basically then you are asking the bearing and race to re-seat and that can lead to failure. And additional thoughts along this line?
Thanks
Rick
