Thanks for your input. There is no hub play. I just had the hub rebuilt by a trusted mechanic with new bearings. It doesn't feel like there is really any play in the hub at all.

I have checked the brake, and it is really even from side to side. I have also been riding with it all the way open (lever can almost touch the bars when I brake all the way)

I think ​I have ruled out all of the obvious causes, but I'm not 100% sure, which is why I'm here.
