The axle nut is likely bottoming in the axle making it impossible to get proper tension on the inner races of the bearings. Either the axle have been tampered with, perhaps to accomodade a different brand of wheel, or the left lower leg axle mount is modified. The normal gap between axle and axle nut face is normally only a few millimeters. Remove the nut and check that axle is not going all the way through the lower leg axle hole. Post some pictures.

If the axle assembly draws up correctly as mentioned above, have a close look at how your right fork leg clamps on the axle. I had to weld my axle and then machine it to size so the fit was correct. The original dimension allowed the clamp slot to close up and it barely gripped the axle.
