Kirk:
 I am kinda unsure what you mean? The ATX has NO support shaft bearing on
the passenger side? The axle seals will not support a bearing?. They are
simply not designed for anything but a seal? I have 55K miles on the unit
and no problem with the axles.

 Now I have done something that has NEVER happened as far as I can tell. I
broke the input shaft of the ATX to the oil pump and the car just calmly
coasted to a stop!! Doug L. and I talked back and forth on the phone as I
ran tests to find the problem. Doug had never had one break and said this
was the one and only he knew of.
