[Mgs] follow up on mga 1622 suspension issues

[Charley & Peggy Robinson]

Sounds like you've left the shims out.  The end play of the bearings is 
set by the thickness of the shims between the bearings and the spacer.  
The more shim thickness, the less end play and vice-versa. The shims 
come in various thicknesses, you select the thicknesses to combine i 
order to arrive at the proper end play.

Suggest you buy the factory shop manual and read up on it.
