I have ran into the same issue with the rear wheel bearings. Working the nut above the required load will not take the play. The torque on the nut does not act on the bearing, only on the shaft . These bearings have to have a bit of play when the car is up in the air. Once the car is on the ground the weight will force the ball bearings in position and the play will disapear.I would be interested to ear from people who have installed peter bearings and personally tested the play the car being on a lift. Holding the tire up and down and rocking it..If you have zero play that could be worrisome ..as the bearing will seize at some point..
