Driver side hub failure?

So I installed my OME front lift a a couple of weeks ago took it in a for an alignment and was fine. A couple days later I had realized that I put the coil perch upside down. I then took everything apart and flipped the coil perches. I also replaced the needle bearing with the ECGS bushing. Now earlier today I took my truck into the same alignment shop to get it re aligned, and the tech came and showed me that there was some play on the driver side tire, tires in the air and wobbled a little. He told me that the hub was bad, so wasn’t able to do the alignment. Drove the truck home and took off my tires, took off calipers and rotors, there is slight play but not very much, I spun the hub and there isn’t any noise either. I didn’t really notice anything weird when driving either. I know the axle nut is set at 170ish but I was only able to torque my axle nut to 150 lb ft that was my max and then I used a bar to torque it down a little more. Did I do something wrong here? I mean the only thing I can think of is the axle nut not being torqued enough. 2017 Tacoma offroad with 15k

 

If you don’t have the tool to confirm your hub is torqued correctly, I would bring it to a local off-road shop. They can probably tear it down and retorque it for you.

Is the needle bearing put in correctly, correct order of parts, nothing was placed backwards? Lots of things can leave a wobble. Hopefully not the bearing

 

The truck itself drives fine, I didn’t really feel a wobble, only when I jack it up the tire has a little play; I didn’t remove the hub either. The only thing I did was remove the axle nut, and the needle bearing went out and was set in with the tools I ordered with the ECGS bushing. I’m borrowing a torque wrench with a higher torque reading to really torque the axle nut to its specs but if that doesn’t help then I’m guessing I need a new hub assembly?

 

I don't know if it's your problem or not but I think the torqued spec for the axle nut is a little over 200 ft/lbs. It was on previous generations anyway.

 

OP is right. Torque spec is 173 according to the FSM.

OP I'm not sure what could be causing that. I would just go through and torque everything to spec and make sure everything is seated properly.My torque wrench also only goes to 150 so when doing axle work I borrow this wrench from my friend.

Fair enough. I stand corrected. I just remember having to buy a beefier torque wrench when I did my 4th generation 4Runner.

 

I agree, I will be going through the whole driver side as this side is the side with slight play. I jacked up the passenger side and there wasn’t any play in the hub/rotor area. The only thing different was that I pulled the axle out from the driver side to do the need bearing so I will go through that side.
