Are the new tie rod ends the original adjustable style. They are adjusted by tightening the end cap until the spring inside it is bottomed out then back the cap off just until the cotter pin will go in a hole.
How did you adjust the roller wheel bearings? The procedure is different than the original ball bearings. Many roller bearings require a final preload of 5-7 ft pounds of torque. The original ball bearings do not call for a final preload. They require a tiny bit of slack.
