Hub Reassembling

Well in the last thread I posted I though that the space that the dust cap fits into was the area the bearings ran, so the cup are not as bad as I first thought. I was able to find some cones that are very smiler to the two (one front and one back) cones I'm replacing. I put the front hub back together last night. I noticed when I spun the wheel around that it was making noise, and aren't they suppose to be almost silent? The grease I used was White Lithium. How do you know when you have too little or too much grease around the bearings? I also noticed that on the right side (view if sitting on bike) the cone sticks out a tad more than the left, would this be something to worry about?
