    I've found that the weight can be carried on the spherical bearings without spitting out the Teflon sleeves if you simply order the bearings without sleeves. They need occasional grease, but are virtually indestructible.

    That is the only way I would run the monoball to support the weight of the car, but you are still well beyond the design capacity of the bearing with that load. So, replace them preventatively more often IMO.

    I had some old BSI weld-in plates already in my A2 but the "guts" were shot. I found that the guts from these fit in and they have a needle thrust bearing option.
