Agreed, side loading will result in some nasty torque if you use just one support bearing.

Also, you may want to look at how much area you will need for the motor to swing when the assembly pivots. Typically you want swerve/crab to pivot a good 180 degrees to maximize mobility. We stacked our motor above the wheel with a chains (or gears) going down one side.
