Is there a surface on the axle shafts against which metal is rubbing directly on metal. If not, does it matter if the bearing surfaces are pitted/worn a bit?

RE: Axle shaft bearing surfaces?
Thanks folks. I'll work on getting a set tomorrow--if I can find some. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around how the shafts are set up. I had pictured them being suspended on some type of sealed bearing cartridge (like skateboard bearings) that prevented the actual shaft from being a bearing surface itself. At any rate, I wish my manual had more info on axle shafts.

You can make it like that with c-clip eliminators...

Here's what the bearings and seals look like. The axle rides directly on the rollers.
c- clip eliminators, they actually press on to the axle, inner race stays stationary on the axles, the flange bolts to the axle tube and backing plate

As long as they are not totalled all the way around the c-clip elims should be ok. The stock style bearings, not a f'in' chance!! Can you post up any pics of them and is this your rearend noise. I thought all this was being replaced w/ the gear install.
