Provided is an implant comprising: a platform; a deformable pad affixed to the platform and adapted to seat two or more bearings; and the two or more bearings. The deformable pad can have a number of neutral positions matching the number of bearings, with the deformability of the pad adapted to apply force on the bearings any time the bearings are displaced laterally, with the force being in the direction of the corresponding neutral position.
