Hi Shawn--
 
Questions beget questions:
  
1.If things were fine in the past and this is a new problem I don't  think 
the issue is the length of the distance piece.  
 
2.By "loose" do you mean there is "wiggle" with wheel jacked up and when  
grasping the wheel top and bottom and rocking it?  
 
3.  Is the castle nut drawing up tight with no increase in drag  and if so 
have you added a washer or used a thicker one to give it more ability  to 
tighten things up?  
 
4.Are the outer races fitting tightly inside the hub?
 
Best--Michael Oritt
