I got this wrong here I made this same mistake, DOH, when I was putting the hubs together we DO want play the assembly is intended to move. I forgot that play is good here everywhere else on the truck is bad, lol.
My bad sorry about that.
The only time I can see washers there is on the Auto hub which is why I asked earlier.

I do believe the F250 dana 50 is the same. The pic above has eight lugs even though it is showing a "Bronco F-150" hub.
