CORRECTION- when she applies the brake it goes away is what I meant to type!
So it is the bearing. Actually caught myself on that one!

Still has a slightly loose wheel bearing. Anyone run into this before?

Hi Shawn--
Questions beget questions:
1.If things were fine in the past and this is a new problem I don't think the
issue is the length of the distance piece.
2.By "loose" do you mean there is "wiggle" with wheel jacked up and when
grasping the wheel top and bottom and rocking it?
3. Is the castle nut drawing up tight with no increase in drag and if so have
you added a washer or used a thicker one to give it more ability to tighten
things up?
4.Are the outer races fitting tightly inside the hub?
Best--Michael Oritt
