If the key has been loose and eventually sheared the hub and axle taper will not be perfect. Topic been extensively covered but it important the axle make contact and preferably heavy contact just inboard of the keyway. Having the taper super tight can lead to difficukty dismantling .If assembled without the split pin can be regularly moderately tightend. Gves indication of any pending trouble.
Ponder carefully before resorting to wholesale lapping. The axle and hub easily ruined. Can lap away a lot of soft hub with little effect on very hard axle. If the axle is drawn too far out means another hub or diff dismantling.
