Default 89 evo Clutch basket wobble

Spin the clutch hub and the clutch basket wobbles
clutch hub is new drag specialties
old bearing was pressed out new bearing pressed in

vibrations from this wobble are breaking bearing

wobble is present with basket and hub removed from the main shaft
bearing is fully seated we removed and repressed bearing twice my old stock oem clutch hub did not have any wobble starting to think the drag specialties hub is defective

I would mount the hub to the trans shaft to check for play between the hub and shell (bearing ) then check runout at starter Ring gear..
