Hey Kevin,
Sorry for the late response. The height of the female bearing will depend on the cartridge height and whether you have an oil bath well or no bath at all. In our experience, the cartridge height and setup are usually the biggest factors affecting the bearing height.
Most of the time, you can make all the necessary VTA adjustments with the VTA on-the-fly. However, if you need more adjustment range, you can fine-tune it by raising or lowering the female bearing. Ultimately, the height should allow for some free side-to-side motion without anything making contact.
If that’s unclear, it might be time for a video to explain it better. 😊
