Should I get new bearings?
I'm blueprinting my front bearings. One side is .003". The other side is .004". I am checking the hub assembly itself. I know that this is within tolerance, but I'm a perfectionist. I'm happy with the .003", but I'd like to get better than the .004". Is it possible that the bearings aren't perfect? I've taken the assembly apart and made sure that the race is seated all the way down. It has to be either the bearings or the hub itself. Any other suggestions?
