I think that is a decimal place off.
This is really general, but they know a thing or two about bearings...

If you get them packed and adjusted, and they run free and quiet, they are fine.
Maybe the Volvo nut is so beef they didn't bother with a washer, been a long time singe I had to look at mine.
