Thanks for all the help folks.
I bought an assembly from mopar and put it on today. It has *way*
less play, but still a little. If i under-torqued it, it was just
barely.
The threads look good and unmarred, and i cleaned them out
with brake cleaner. Very clean, dry, etc.
I realize that at this point i am being paranoid, and looking very
closely for play, but it is quite frustrating. I'm just going to
pay attention to it and listen for problems.
When i think about this setup, it's hard to believe that you
could get a no-play situation every time without having some
bearings get over tightened.
