Sounds like a bearing alignment issue.. are you sure the new bearings were driven squarely into the bores? Did you make any effort to centralize them, before you bolted up the case parts?
Have you given the shaft a few good whacks along each axis with the lead or plastic hammer, to see if the bearings will seat properly, or at least yield enough to correct the binding?
