This is the bearing that was not making noise, but I pulled it to swap from right to left to isolate the problem and saw the scoring. This is after about 400 miles.



EDIT: The noise showed up at about 300 miles. I PM'd back and forth with chuck a number of times and tried all sorts of different 'fixes'. More spacers, less spacers, more shims, less shims, double check 'free play', et cetera. The noise would sometimes go away briefly (i suspect because i had manually lubricated the entire surface) but always came back. Just jacking up the car would sometimes briefly clear it. i suspect because it moved lube into an area not lubed by normal driving. I also swapped bearings left to right... and that didnt fix it either.

The 'fix' was to replace the inner bearings and races completely. I have about 400 miles on it now with no noise.
