I'm with Mike on this. You seriously need to take the right side hub apart
again and make sure it is PROPERLY installed. Everything you've said is a
Red Flag screaming DANGER, ABORT. This can lead to serious death or injury

Indeed. If you live your life by the "you get what you deserve"
guideline, there aren't any innocent bystanders. Just people waiting
for their next helping of ***-kicking.
