Porsche used the ball bearing because it was the cheapest way to control radial and longitudinal loads. It killed two birds with one stone, and found them in a class action suit.

The dual row IMSB has TWO thrust control surfaces to assist with those longitudinal loads and that is a very welcome aspect of the dual row design. Two rows have proven to be better than one.
