My point was that the spindle should not be so worn that the bearing inner
races are a loose or sloppy fit. They may spin when the wheel is unloaded

behind the thrust washer.

Dennis, do you mean with the preload on, or with the vehicle standing on its
wheels?  Also, isn't it hidden by the thrust washer?  Or did I fall off at
