take a piece of foral wire and make it a "c" shape and put it in the cup first then reasemble the knuckle in this order: "c" shaped wire, bearing/bushing then the cup then the other bearing/bushing then the knuckle cap thing.

you can try wheel shims, there basically washers, they fix over the shaft that your wheel goes on atomicmods.com sells them, but you can also get similar ones from a hard ware store, i know they fixed the play in wheels on a gen 1 so i assume they will on an evo too, also like already stated get metal bearings they will help

OK take the green foral wire you get at walmart and cut off and piece like a inch long. Then take ur car and disasembale the whole knuckle. take the cap off and pull the cup/dogbone/bushings/bearings. then take ur wire and bend into a "c" shape. then put it on the inside of the knuckle. then resemable the whole knuckle. then do this for the other 3 knuckles.
