Does anyone know if it's possible to get just the bearing? (Maybe from Mercedes?)
NeedsWings sells the bearing and support for $99, go to the NeedsWings site and see for yourself.
I have never seen one of these bearings but I read on this forum that someone purchased a bearing for $30 and installed it and it worked just fine.
Bearings ar quite cheap and no car maker goes to the expense of getting s special bearing made except in special circumstances, they buy the parts of the shelf.
