Jack it up and recheck.
It could have needed a run to settle.
I normally recheck after I do mine.
I believe that tighter is better, but I'm not mechanic.

Have you tried it with the original wheel on it before you did the rotation?

Nah I haven't. Well... I have but not at those speeds. So I rotated the tyres and when I was at front wheels, I noticed the slop from 12-6. Put all wheels back on (rotated) went for a drive, but max speed was 70, and noticed NO wobble. Came home and nipped up the bearings. And today on the highway copped the wobbles...

Interesting, can't imagine tightening the wheel bearings would result in the wobbles. makes no sense at all. in fact one of the things to check when chasing the answer is to tighten the wheel bearings. I'd start with a wheel balance to check that, if one of your rears had thrown a weight you would not feel that until you fitted it to the front.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Thanks Darren.
What you said makes sense. I also wondered , if I lost a weight or something on the rear left ( which is now on the front left ) , why I didn't get any wobbles or anything before roation. But like you said bringing it to the front will exacerbate the issue. Makes sense.
Also sorry for thread crapping about my issues. This is after all bearing tightening DIY guide.

FYI - if you have a GQ and the hexagonal nut and lock washers that need bending; you can purchase the nuts and washer as seen here as kit from patrolapart, eBay etc.
I highly recommend it!

If you were out of balance on a rear wheel you would not feel t in the car. most balance all 4 for tyre wear issues but the rears will not vibrate through the car very much but the front will be hideous through the steering wheel. A lot of places only balance the front 2 and only do 4 on request. Dumb and Lazy in my opinion. Check the balance mate.
Note all your info here is welcome and adds to the thread. it also problem solves for future searches.

I just helped a workmate out doing his on a 2009 Patrol (my old 3L).
Done the right side. No issues.
We done the left side, all good. But when I was putting the hub back on. It just would not go all the way. There was a 5mm gap .
So I slowly put the allan bolts back on, and done the up slowly one by one. And the bolts them selves ended up marrying up the hub flush.
So, could this just be the axle movement ? It may have come out a bit when we took the hub off ? @MudRunnerTD

Did you lock the hub? It sounds like it was not aligned properly. I'm thinking you just engaged the hub but that should not be an issue. Put the car in reverse and see if you her a click as you roll back. Then jack it up again and make sure the front is not locked
