I just replaced the bearings in this hub. They're seated properly and in as far as they go; I used a large deep socket and a mallet to carefully tap in the outer races. But the axle has about 1mm of side-to-side play, as if the shoulders on the axle weren't spaced quite wide enough. If I tighten the lock nuts against the inner races, I can stop the bearings from moving. That shouldn't be possible; those races should lock up against the shoulders on the axle without loading the bearing.
It's as if the axle never was right in the first place, which is possible (I bought these wheels used). These are Suzue hubs. The shoulder-to-shoulder measurement on the axle is 70mm, which I thought was standard, and looks correct. There were no washers on the axle 'inside', between the bearings and the shoulders; but maybe there should have been. I don't know what else to think.
