Abstract
Improved bearing systems and methods for adjusting pivot offsets of bearing systems. The improved bearing systems and methods provide offset pivot adjustability.

The pivot offset may be adjusted and set another way by removing the adjustable offset pad insert, rotating it 180 degrees and installing the adjustable offset pad insert back in the journal pad.
