There are no shims shown or mentioned in the BL manual. Since it is clamped in place, I'm not sure why you'd need any?

So it must be moving in and out, most likely in the axle tube.

To cover for manufacturing tolerances. Whether any are there originally is immaterial, if shims are neded to keep the bearing from back and forth movement then they need to be added. It would be simple to pull the half shaft, put a shim in and see if the movement diminishes, if it doesn't then you know the bearing is faulty or loose on the shaft (unlikely ime) which you will be able to see while the shaft is out.

Pull it apart and the problem should show itself.

He means the inner race of the bearing and the outer race of the bearing with the balls in between (yes, I know they come as a built up unit)

Supposed to be but is YOUR bearing outer a tight fit in the housing right now?
Is the shoulder still there?
Is the clamping plate "dished"?
