a wheel alignment guy told me that you need to spin the wheel after your
initial tightening so the bearings kind of seat themselves, then do the
adjustment again -- and possibly check the adjustment one more time after
you've driven a bit.
otherwise the adjustment will be too loose, which sounds like your problem.

Subject: front wheel bearings
Hi all,
I have a question about tightening the front wheel bearings on my 72 TR6. I
have followed the procedure in the Haynes Manual which calls for snugging up
the nut and then backing it off one or two flats. I did this, but in doing
so it seems like there is too much play in the front wheel. Should I be
able to feel any play in the wheel after backing off the nut?
Thanks,
Tom
