It could be that the blukhead is cracked or needs to be replaced, but I think you listed that already. If it isn't one of those two things, it'll be hard to diagnose without being there.
I add shims until there is a little binding, then I remove that shim and put it on the other side. I usually end up with one shim on each side. You checked bearings and made sure couplers were on tight (but not too tight up against the bearing)?
