So you’re using two bearings in your car? I was actually thinking of doing that or trying to find a dual row bearing with one row of roller bearing and the other with ball or conical to support the thrust. Of course, with one look at bearing catalogs, I gave up on that! Those catalogs are not pleasant or easy to navigate for the layman!
Do you have a thread on your installation? I’ve read many of your threads and seen your helpful comments on other threads but I haven’t seen anything about a two bearing setup.
Anxious to see the details….

It`s a weak spot when you use it for pulling the bearing or when you overtighten the nut on it. Otherwise the load on the center bolt is very low in the 2 row application. There`s lengthy thread is in the show&tell section.
