Ive got a new front hub and when shimming it out Im using about 3/16 in 
worth of shims and still cant get it to stop spinning . All other parts are 
there, new bearings ( japan for outer  and germany for inner) distance piece 
is perfect. stub spacer has a slight wear ( only about 2or 3 thou). The 
other new hub was bad as the inner bearing race just fell into its seat ( 
literally)
Im wondering was this a bad set of hubs or is there something Im missing. 
This is the first time Ive ever had this situation.
Any similar experiences ?
