When you tap in the new bearing races, it is common for them to seat incompletely, even if you cleaned the hub properly. I have found it necessary to tighten the bearing preload to considerably more than the 12 ft-lb specified with a new bearing, before adjusting to spec.

Alternatively, drive a few miles, then recheck the adjustment.
