I had posted earlier that the first hub I got from gmpartsdirect had a separate insert specifically stating to torque it to 180ft.lbs. whereas the next one I got from them didn't say anything so I torqued it to the factory spec. Obviously, something in the design of the first one dictated a higher torque value but it has been functioning just fine.

When I removed the passenger side bearing on my car, it fell apart on me, too. Examining the guts of this bearing, I could see how it would "clunk" in an internal piece was missing or broke, yet would still roll without a hum.
A broke or missisng bearing cup, or a spindle collar could cause things to "shift" when turning the steering wheel. At any rate, it really sounds like a fautly part for sure.
