front wheel movement, Thought it was the bearings, but they are new... Options

[rjames]

After getting the newly rebuilt front suspension buttoned up, I thought I was done, but I can't seem to remove a bit of play in both of the front wheels. Feels exactly like loose wheel bearings, except that it's not. I installed new wheel bearings in the rotors even though the old ones looked fine since I was in there anyway. Spindles looked fine, too.
I verified no movement in the strut, and I can't feel any movement anywhere else on the strut assembly (ball joint, tie rods, control arm etc.). Over tightening the bearings only helped a tiny bit, (I didn't drive on the overtightened bearing, just did it to see if it removed the play).

I've done my front bearings before and didn't run into this issue. I guess I'm left with removing the rotors, but don't even know what to look for.

Took the rotors off on both sides. All looks to be in spec. Put everything back on, no change on both sides. Even if I tighten the spindle nut way too tight I still feel movement. For the life of me it feels like it’s coming from the rotor, but admittedly it’s hard to push/pull the tire while trying to look / feel around underneath for movement.

Something to note, there isn’t much movement when the car is off the ground. As soon as the full weight is back on the tires, there’s movement. I think I need to get the car on a lift that will allow the weight to remain on the wheels to have a better look. Either way, after all the work it’s taken me to refurb the front end, I’m fully burned out and ready to farm this sh*t out.

It’s times like these I think about selling.
