H190 510 wagon axle end play; what parts wedge bearing in place?

If you've seen my post on "handling still needs work" I may have found the issue.

 

Using a dial indicator and pushing / pulling the axle in and out there appears to be 6-8 thousands of play. Combine both sides and that's a 64th of an inch.

 

When I got the axle it was clear something is missing; with the backing plate torqued down to spec I could move the axle shaft 1-2mm. In order to cure this I put shims in the axle housing behind the bearing. Note that even taking all the backing plate shims still left to much slop.

 

On the axle there is the bearing and collar. In the housing there is the axle seal and nothing else (other than my non stock shims).

 

So my question is what is supposed to wedge the bearing in place; Is the bearing supposed to bottom in the housing (metal outer circumference of bearing against housing) and then the backing plate wedge the other side of the bearing?

 

From the schematics it appears I have missing parts. Most notable is no grease seal thingy. The bearings are sealed bearings so I'm to worried about that but as the H190 is different than the H145 that was in the cars for years, I don't no if said grease seal takes up some of the end play. There also appears as if there is supposed to be a spacer behind the bearing.

 

Any help or pictures would be greatly appreciated.

So while checking the right side I found it had 15-20 thou, so add that to the left side and there may be as much as .75mm or 1/32", hell I make toe adjustments in 1/64th increments.

 

I still have a few shims in between the backing plate and housing, pulling those out would fix the left side but the right will definelty need to be shimmed. Worst case I can have my buddy machine up a few shims if need be.

I thought you set one side (doesn't matter which) to 0.3 to 0.9mm then go to the other side and set 0.02-0.15mm against it by adding or subtracting shims at the backing plate. If you can't set this side try setting the other.
