No, they are also ball bearings, but if you look at the part that is
*between* the two bearings (Huelse), you see that it is a bit shorter than
the distance between the bearings. So I suppose that there must be a
preload on the bearing. Other people on list have recognized that earlier
and talked about inserting a longer part (Huelse), but I think this can't
be senseful, since this is the same at all XRVs and not just a problem in
some series.
Preloaded or not - the correct torque on the axis can't be bad ;-)))
