1985 300d front wheel bearings

Hi I replaced front wheel bearings and races as a set, used good quality parts. when trying to preload the bearings as stated in manual The nut tightened untill there was no more thread but the wheel still moved very freely. There did't seem to be any play. but it doesn't seem right. is there supposed to be a flat washer between the nut and outer bearing. There wasn't one but I remember seeing this on other cars
