have your shop slide the hub on the spline and check the distance between the two surfaces and then check that measurement to the stack of bearings. The bearings should be larger than the gap in the hub assembly. As to the washer, I don't think mine had a washer ether .

I just got word from my mechanic. The hub is bad. He said that the part of the hub that contacts the bearing is worn. He thinks either the hub was not machined properly or the axle nut was too tight. Either way, he suggested replacing the hub. My questions now are is the hub a Ford part or a SPF part and what it's going to cost?

The hub is a Superformance part. Email or PM me for info.
