considering that you have driven with the axle bouncing around, just do a quick check that the spring on the back of the seal hasn't flicked off

If it was me, I'd Follow Patrick's (Tintop) guidance on tightening the adjusting ring....

Thanks for all the advice everyone. Per Tintop's advice I tried my torque wrench. Even with the adjusting ring quite tight the axle would not give enough resistance to trigger the torque wrench, even on it's lowest setting. I have set the adjusting ring to be just slightly inset, maybe .1 or .2 mm. Took it for a drive and it seems ok, but maybe sluggish - not sure if tightening the ring too much might have this effect? Could just be my imagination as I was a bit paranoid on the test drive!! Anyway appreciate the help from everyone
