is that the bottom of the well tain't nothing to be concerned about. Styles of TT bearings I've encountered, show the ball generally stat/fixed relative to the well/cup (and of course the rotating spindle). If the dimple is fairly pronounced (active bearing surface), then one might proceed to a machine shop, where (likely) the spindle would be pressed out, and however many thousandths milled off the flat/plane/bottom. Removing the dimple, and restoring the surface to smooth/not irregular. I'm not well versed in the theory, but believe it about fewer points in contact. Say in ideal, single point to single point [one single point on the bottom of spindle (thrust pad) ... to any given single high point on the round spherical ball].Elmo MBS/UCI
