A linear motion bearing subassembly is disclosed including a ball retainer including an inner portion having a monolithically formed continuous strip of outer portions and an outer portion having a monolithically formed continuous strip of inner portion. Preferably, the monolithically formed continuous strip of inner portions and the monolithically formed continuous strip of outer portion are monolithically formed. An end of the monolithically formed continuous strip of inner portions may be attachable to an end of the monolithically formed continuous strip of outer portion. In another embodiment, the linear motion bearing subassembly includes a ball retainer formed of at least one self-contained ball retainer segment. At least one of the at least one outer portion is monolithically formed with at least one of the at least one outer portion to form at least one of the self-contained ball retainer segments. In another alternate embodiment, at least one outer portion is monolithically formed with at least one inner portion. The outer portion is hingedly connected to the inner portion such that folding manipulation forms a linear motion bearing subassembly. Methods of assembly of the above disclosed components are also provided.
