Dana 60 still wobbly 42\" tire

Hey just wonderin if anybody else had problems with the kingpins in the dana 60. I replaced all nylon bushings, bearings, and races and the bottom plate with the post the bearing rides on. It fixed the passenger side, but the bottom of the drivers still moves. The tire wobbles at about 35 mph, and gets scary at 55mph. Help, everything went in tight. the only thing not replaced was the spring, and they were still strong it seemed. /forums/images/graemlins/1zhelp.gif

seems I had the same problem with my Dodge cummins truck. I think the shop added shims under the cap to preload the bushing more. That or I got it all wrong......
