Bearing problem???

I've just replaced the bearings in the front two wheels, replacing both inner and outer bearings with the seal. But for some reason, when i put the wheel back on, both sides still kinda wobbles as if it still has a bad bearing. Could something else be loose?? Right now i have no idea whats going on...

Did you change the bearing races? http://www.mazdatrix.com/faq/frontbrg.htm

Tighten the bolt enough? I tighten it with some force to set the bearings, then back it off and tighten lightly. Not sure on ft/lbs but it's probably in the FSM.

The wheel bearings should be a straight forward install. Maybe something else is loose.
