Man, I would think your spindles would last for years or at least a couple hundred thousand miles. Since the bearing doesn't actually rotate on the spindle there shouldn't be any wear, unless they've locked up and spun at some point. I assume that you changed the races when you replaced the bearings. Since the bearings are tapered, I would put a flat washer between the nut and the tang washer and see if that out the slop. I wouldn't run it that way, but it would verify wheater its the spindle or hub. My hubs are aluminum and there may be some wear/damage there.
