By moving the gear up until it is as close to the bearing as possible, the gear spacing will not be as affected by side loads, even if wear increases the amount of play in the module. Alternatively, you could add more support below the steering gear like on the wild swerve module. This has the added benefit of a greater mechanical advantage to resist any side loads.
I have a Kaydon bearing at the top of the wheel module and a nylon ring supporting it just above the steering gear. I would have liked a second Kaydon bearing right at the steering gear but the size didn't package very well. Trade-offs for later if we did pursue it.
