Default Can't Believe I didn't Think Of That!

I have been chassing a shake in my frontend for some time now. Everything is new(almost:rebuilt swivel *****, all new bushings,wheel bearings, rod ends-all 4,alignment,rebalance tires,etc), so it was really starting to **** me off.

Then the other day I was putting new brake rotors on(needed anyways), and realize I had movement in the front tire at 12 and 6.

Thinking I just replaced the swivel bearings,bushings,etc, I thought how? No matter how much I tightened the wheel bearings, or how many shims from the upper swivel pin I removed, it was still there.

It's the stub axle. After much thinking about it, I tried an expirement. With the front wheel off the ground, I would get play. I had someone press on the brake hard,while still in the air, effectively holding the hub. Play was gone, rock solid. I got too much slop between the wheel bearings and the stub axle.

I thought them bearings went on and off a little too easy....
