Herman,

If your car is a factory GT5 (i.e. 9000 series), then the axles and hub carriers are a little different than the Ford era cars. They use a stepped axle and larger outer bearing. They do seem to have a minor amount of play even when newly rebuilt.

Replacing the stepped axles is far more costly than the early variant, so I would second Mark's recommendation to dismantle and check it all. It is possible the spacer between the bearings has worn allowing the nut to tighten further. If the spacer shows signs of wear along with the outer thrust washer, bite the bullet and replace those as well.
