WOW...Now we are communicating!!! Everyone's replies have been read and
saved and this weekend after a crawfish boil I am going to tear into the
front hubs and check everything out and see where we go from there. Who
knows....Tapered roller bearings might be in the future.
Thanks
Leo

HOLD IT! There is no similarity between and MGB and a Spridget
front wheel hub and bearing beyond the number of bearings, a seal,
and the fact that they both have 4 studs. COMPLETELY different
original design. DO NOT apply one repair procedure to the other.
Leo, your problem could be a worn hub where the ID especially for the
outer bearing is worn. Using the Unipart/Moss supplied bearing kit
with the narrow-width outer race exacerbates the problem. I have 20 +
hubs here with that same problem, and we are working on a solution.
(we actually have the solution, just trying to figure if anyone would
pay for it)
Did you use the narrow-width outer race bearing? If so, a different
outer bearing may solve it.
