I've had the same issue re: bearings seems tight enough, but
can move tire. I just got new shocks 'cause it needed it
anyway. Definitely not bad shocks, although there has to be
-some- amount of play in the shaft.

I'm looking at this diagram (I have a '6) and have to think
there's something not perfectly seated, or worn that I didn't
see when last opened everything up.

How much "play" are we talking here?

shouldn't be any negligable movement when working the wheel (grasping the top and bottom).

Could've been that the last person that replaced the bearings and races didn't have the race seated in the hub properly, and it's slowly seating itself giving you excess clearance.........well, sounds like it could happen that way. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
