The imaged set up will actually reduce the common source of bent axles, the significantly unequal distance from the bearing cone to the locknut. With such a long spacer on the LH side this dimension will likely be far more even, side to side. Thus the axle will see less loading on the RH cone edge then is typical. Andy
