Did you change the race with the bearings? I found a damaged race in my Nissan Truck, that my daughter had the wreck in. No body damage, butthe right rear wheel was hit, resultinga bent axle, and a damage bearing race, that I did not notice until I put the axle in and did a test spin with the the truck on stands, engine running, tranny engaged. The driver side was nice and smoth, the passenger side vibrated like crazy.

I disassembled everything, and had to have the bearing pressed out, new one pressed on, and I changed the race. That is when I saww that damamge, and could feel the roughness with the old bearing and race removed. Visually the bearing looked fine. Since the race was in a recessed area, I could not see the damage until I removed the race.
