Default heh heh... you said 'long rotating member'.

i'm sure that's the reason for the two-piece engineering - center bearing stabilization reduces chance of an unpleasant vibrating shaft
(heh heh vibrating shaft), at the expense of a more expensive replacement.

Default Count me in on the GB if it happens.

I think that my CV's and or center support needs attention soon and I would much rather have a one piece than an aftermarket or molested bearing carrier.
