Default Rear portal bearing missing

Well thats a first for me. I'm in the process of installing some brass portal covers and when I removed one of the rear plastic covers there was no bearing supporting the axle shaft. Thankfully there doesn't appear to be any damage after running 3-4 battery packs. Off to the LHS I go.

Missing one would still allow it to work depending which one. Just a missed part, stuff like that happens in production.

It was missing the small bearing and the axle didn't appear to be flopping around at all. There was no indication anything was amiss until I removed the portal cover.

I was missing a pin in one of my front axles right out of the box, lol.
