A while ago this same problem was posted to this WWWboard while I was having the same difficulty.Someone suggested putting 15 lbs or torque on the hub nut then backing off of the nut to align the castle bolt with the cotter hole.Since I tryed toe-in and tightening the steering previously, I was willing to try anything else.The drivers side didn't seem to make a difference.When I did the passenger side nearing 15 lbs I heard a POP and grease came around the washer and the torque wrench swung free.After anotherturn or so, I got the torque back on.The shimmy went away and the bearings don't show wear.Good advice from people giving help.
