If you mean early model, yes. If you mean late model, no.

The early bearings are barrel shaped (not needle, roller or ball), so 
the housing rotates like a wheel on the axle, and also rotates some in 
the other direction, axial rotation. Your terms may vary...

OK, so it is actually a double row barrel or spherical roller bearing.

If it didn't have this axial rotation, the swing axles could not swing.
