Bobby, I'm not sure I completely understand what you are asking, but it sounds like your axles need to be moved in. You are right that 1/16 of an inch contact is not enough. Check your rear axle and middle axle (it is important to keep the chains and sprockets lined up), it is possible that they are all wrong. On the 91, there is a brass bushing in the inner part of the axle that goes over the stub shaft that you replaced Make sure there is plenty of grease on the stub and in the bushing. There would only be inner bearings if someone added them - 1991s did not come from the factory with inner bearings.
