need help!! 9inch pass side seal/bearing going bad!!

[crazywhiteboy]

put 2500 miles on my truck since the swap, went wheeling, then had the passenger side bearing and seal go out. replaced the bearing/seal, only to have it go out again after 10 miles. bought a new axle shaft, bearing/seal thinking i bent the stock one, drove it 10-15 miles to find out it had gear oil pouring out the passenger side, AGAIN. visibly, there is nothing wrong with the bearing race, seal, housing, or backing plate. to me, it seems the axleshaft trys to push out of the housing about a 1/4inch or so it seems the bearing rides on the edge of the cage, then wastes the bearing, and the seal has no contact with the race or housing. im not sure what to do, or why it keeps pushing out. any help would be appreciated as i have to use my truck for work this coming week.

Bent axle housing. Bad carrier bearing?

Bent axle housing. Bad carrier bearing?

just pulled the 3rd out. bearings look perfect, caps are tight, nothing looks wrong at all. i did notice there is a little more play in the shaft sliding in and out on the passenger side vs the driverside. maybe the retainer plate is bent? cant tell by looking at it. not sure what to do. i do need to put it all back together and drive down to the bay area though, so i guess ill just have to figure it out when i get down there.

sounds like axle is too long.
