One other point to remember is that the axle nuts are cinch nuts with a cut in them and distorted thread so they can feel tight and yet not be fully tight. These style nuts are designed to be single use.
I also recommend to check tolerances on all the spacers and renew the chamfered thrust washer on the axle. The axles were rebuilt on one of my cars and the thrust washers not replaced; I had to rebuild them again within a couple thousand miles.
