Problem with alloy rear hub

[dikke hond]

Anyone that has the blue version (not the old one) of the alloy rear hub noticed some play/slack in the left hub? I have 2 sets of them and both have the same problem.
When you put the wheel on and tighten it down, there is still some play toward the outside, about 1 a 2 mm...

Wondering if the newest version (black) still has the same problem and if there is a quickfix?

If by the black one's you mean the YZ-2 version??? Then the answer is no and no over excessive play at all. Well at least not on mine anyway buddy.

Thanks for the reply's! I checked the bearings tonight but they are okay. It looks like the crushtube is just a bit to wide... Will sand it tomorrow!

I use the blue Alu hubs and yes my left, the bearing comes out a bit. The right bearing is in tightly. I remember when I first put in the bearings, not sure if both but one at least was a pain to put in, had to apply some grease and even then it was a tight fit.

I just gave my bmax4 a run in the street and it tracks straight at half throttle, at full starts to pull ever so slightly but my street has camber.
