The hub bearing locates the half-shaft, so if they haven't been disturbed I'm puzzled. How did you I inspect the half-shaft ends without taking off the hubs? What's flapping around?
Have you just removed the outer halves of the hubs, leaving the inners still on the casing? I f that's the case, the bearings are no longer locating the shaft laterally, except by stiction. You may have no problem. Look carefully at what moves with the shaft when it moves. Maybe the shaft moves in and out of the bearing, or the bearing in and out of the inner part of the hub.
