A bearing assembly is for movably coupling first and second members and includes first and second laminated bodies disposed within the second member bore, spaced about a centerline and connected with the first member. The first laminated is formed of alternating, arcuate first elastomeric laminae and arcuate first rigid laminae nested generally about a first central axis, each first rigid lamina having a first radial thickness between inner and outer surfaces. The second laminated body is formed of alternating, arcuate second elastomeric laminae and arcuate second rigid laminae nested generally about a second central axis, each second rigid lamina having a second radial thickness between the rigid lamina inner and outer surfaces. The first radial thickness of the first rigid laminae is substantially greater than the second radial thickness of the second rigid laminae such that the second laminated body has a substantially lesser stiffness than the first laminated body.
