Ahh. That's a point. I did take the axle out last night, but my old eyes aint what they used to be, i.e. I couldn't tell if it looked straight or pissed!
When I put it all back together I moved the non-drive side cone a little bit further down the axle as the amount of threads showing on either side of the hub wasn't quite even. I could only budge it one or two threads before it would turn no more, to basically where the axle entered the hub body.
And re: bending the hub flange. It's not a left to right wobble (and therefore bendable), it's up and down.
