Compare the Details West exposed roller bearings I just installed in some Athearn Dash 9 side frames.  The center one is a cast on vesrion by Athearn.

I wish they could/would make them with the rotating bearing cap, but that would require working suspension to avoid a very rigid truck.

I've seen people drill the hole bigger so it can rotate, but I'm fine w/o that.
