I'm about to replace my bearings on my 97 max II. I was looking at my front axle today and it doesn't look like I have any inner bearings. There is a steel bar that runs between the two front axles in the middle of the frame with a cotter key in the right side of it and the 2 axles seem to just end at the frame. The bar does not spin with the axles.

Is this normal, or is this something that the previous owner may have rigged up? I don't want to order any inner bearings if I don't need them.

thanks
