Hope that's all it is mate. Just needs a light surface coat on all surfaces in the hub area. I have done that myself once. I even found once after a wheel bearing re pack that when I did the retaining nut back up I couldn't get it to the same position as before. So I took it for a drive then checked again and it was loose and I could get that extra turn I needed. It was just a hydraulic lock from the grease behind the bearing.

Finally managed to get a look at this. My alternator and a few ither bits shat itself so they were in the priority list.
Anyway. Wasn't an extreme amount of grease in them so I don't think that was the issue. Cleaned everything out and got a proper look at at the teeth. Definitely evidence of slipping on the passenger side. It was also jamming and not engaging perfectly straight. Lots more free play than the drivers side.
So a new set of hubs and it should be sorted!
