[Spits] rear axles & u joints

[Donald H Locker]

If the hub is not squarely on a straight shaft, it will wobble.  If the shaft is 
bent, a squarely installed hub will wobble.  A U-joint whose yokes are way off 
axis can make the hub wobble, but they'd have to be so far out that it would be 
hard to assemble them.

I would bet on a bent shaft or cruft between the hub and shaft taper.

You should be able to check shaft straightness in-situ by slowly rotating it and 
watching carefully.  Then I'd pull the hub.  I recall that you recently 
assembled the axle and hub, so it should separate relatively easily.

HTH,
Donald.
