If you are capturing the top stem then it should all be good, as long as its connection to the module is strong. Here is the Mcmaster needle roller bearing we used for thrust load. Much smaller and lighter than the lazy susan. Just fit the ID closely and it requires no other guidance.

This is similar to what we did last year. A page with what we did.

Unrelated specifically to the development of swerve, but

is the best thing I've seen in months. Adding the McMaster standoffs to the wheel/sprocket interface is a fantastic idea that we will be stealing from you this year.

Wow really nice CAD work.

I would look into thrust bearings for the module.
Silverthin has a great selection:

Keep up the great work, posting different revisions up on CD is a great method.
