I'm not discounting that possibility, but there is a rubbing noise in there
somewhere, in addition to the rattle of gear lash. Tightening the bolts
moves the bracket inboard, too, so it's natural place isn't quite where it
ends up.

I'll bet I'm going to find that the bracket isn't really square--the
mounting tabs and the part to which the bearing retainer attaches should be
plano-parallel, and those tabs should be at a right angle to the axle or
the bearing will bind.
