I know you have stated that you have replace your bearings but double check what happens to the bearings when you tighten up the wheel nut. If the crunch spacer in between has worn then the bearings will feel like they have gone again. I also found that if I put a new bearing into the plastic rear hubs that the plastic was putting so much pressure onto the bearing it felt like it needed to be replaced even though it was new. Found that the holes in the rear plastic hubs are not exactly round and needed opening up. Not too much but just enough to stop the bearings from being crushed. Also check with your finger to see if the output drives on the gearboxes are heating up as I found I had to run the gap between the bearings in the gear boxes slightly wider but then use a thin piece of electrical tape on the outside of the bearing to make sure it was captured solidly by the two diff halves. I use a 22 or 23 on a 6.5 but not sure what the difference is on the octa wind from LRP is. Normally 20-22 on a 5.5.
