Like I said, this question just struck my mind and instead of contacting Mythbusters I wrote on Moparts with the predictable quick and favorable results. This is not something that I want to do, but I live a long ways from any decent parts store so sometimes necessity is the mother of invention. Now, me and others know that this is at least a possible set-up should the occasion arise.

Wrong, as long as the Tapered Timken roller bearings are limited on how much side movement they can make, IE less than .005 the OP should be good. OP if it is more than .005 use another green bearing on the other side also Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
