Might not be ' applicable ' here ...but ... check if any ' thrust ' washers are required here...or had been left out and not fitted.
Reason ...similar experience years ago while I was doing a 100'hrly inspection on a BeechCraft A36 Aircraft ....I found the ' thrust ' washers missing from both main wheels ... and on inspection of the bearings ( tapered roller ) .... found ' chattering ' had occurred to the surface of these bearings..... should have had the ' thrust ' washer up against them and correct ' pre-loading ' applied.....but ....without them ...allowed ' sloppiness ' to occur and bearings had too much play .....poor maintenance by previous mechanics..... the bearings had to be replaced and new ' thrust ' washers installed.
If they had been left that way for too much longer ...they would have ' chewed ' themselves to pieces and destroyed the stub axles....and the repair bill ...much more expensive ..!!
