there are 2 different thickness drive hubs
does your drive unit use the slingers, either side of main gear where axle runs through

I've received drive tire assemblies that have had damaged hubs. I've also seen bearings and bearing adapters fail. I would remove drive tire and put a tape thru the axle bore. Compare measurement with known good wheel. Then inspect bearing adapter for damage
