Yeah, because the biggest thing is that the bearings are in line with the carrier. Hopefully this tube will allow the axle shaft to still slip inside it and use that line things up as well. I'll fool with it all when I get this piece machined. I figured worse case, its just going to eat up a wheel bearing a little sooner. But in all reality how much misalignment is too much to put extra stress on the bearing when the axle shaft is X distance long to help the alignment some. When you put a 1500# camper in the bed of a truck, it puts extra forces on the wheel bearings just the same as if it was misaligned by a few thousands of an inch I'd think? And I've never changed a rear wheel bearing before. My current truck has 320,000 on it haha. This is just me thinking out loud about it.
