Sounds like the spacer has been left out or the wrong size bearing fitted. ie too big ID of bearing.I suggest you pull it apart again and check the
inner sleeve ( although i would think the disc would lock up without it) and the bearing numbers old against new

No spacers in the front, but does sound like the wrong size bearings are fitted
the bearings changed sizes when disc brakes started from memory
