245 Rear Axle Issues 200 1991

I have a 91 240 5-speed with 250k on it. It started making noise at the right rear wheel, a scrapping sound especially on right turns. It would continue to do it on straights, and would stop on left turns. I first changed the brakes which did nothing. I then pulled the rear axle in order to change the bearing. I really didn't pay much attention to in/out play at that point. I changed the axle bearing, both seals, and the spacer. When I put it all together it has too much in/out play, like 3/16" or so. The noise has changed but is still there. I also noted that when it is making the noise I can change it by easing up on the parking brake. It is like there is another spacer that is missing or something. I tried to compare old/new parts and they look very close from a dimension standpoint. I pressed the new bearing and spacer on to the shoulder in the axle. Now I am wondering if the in/out play was not a major factor to begin with. Anyone have ideas for me to try??
