That was another issue when I was making my tail stock lead screw. The minor diameter of the acme screw thread was smaller than the diameter my thrust collar needed to be, so I had to add some diameter. Just something to watch out for.
Yup, it has thrust bearings and they're a nice sliding fit to the lead screw.
