ok I have an identical binding issue on my 06 300. however I stumbled on this thread before I put my bearings back in. My washer is stepped on both sides btw. anyway I put it back just like in the correct installation pic. plus the washer seemed to want to go back that way anyway. I haven't pulled the wheel apart yet but .... can you think of any reason it would be binding even if the washer and bearings are in correctly?? I packed the area behind the seals with grease a-la the gmp method of water penetration prevention. Would too much grease be an issue?? one other point though I noticed that with the new bearings installed I could not spin the inner races by jambing my fingers in the axle hole. I think the last time I had bearings installed I could do that. I've been told that is not a big deal .. sometimes you can ... somtimes you can't ....
