It could be helpful to know what the history of your hub is.  If it is
new, it still might be faulty.  You tightened the bearings until they
started to bind and then backed off until just free.  You might try
repeating that and see if anything changes.

You might also try installing the disc and see if that forces a better
runout at the disc perimeter, which is what you are looking for.
