I took his statement to mean in his picture of the new assembly installation,

http://www.jeepaholics.com/tech/lrhubs/P9080484.JPG

the "space" he was referring to, he asserted was a race where another,
external bearing is installed, and that is not the case. It's just the lip
machined into the flange that the center hole of the wheel fits around.

Internally, I believe it does have two bearings.

On my now sold 93 XJ. Yep, it was split about 1/2". When I noticed what was
happening, I put the axle nut back on and squeezed it back together again. I
ended up getting some longer bolts to replace the 12-points that held the unit
on the knuckle, threaded them in with about 1/2" clearance, and used them as
tapping points, tapped enough to get a pry tool to work it out the rest of the
way.

I can't think of any reason why it would be different from a '93. Think about
it, the axle stub is always rotating and slips into the splines of the hub
assembly, so the splined bore, which is attached to the wheel flange, is also
spinning. There'd be no reason to put an outer bearing there.
