I get nothing but errors when entering this site, it is the onlty site that ever did this. Having that said , I cannot see pictures of the types. What I can tell you Is that the bearing in queston is called "drawn cup neddle roller bearing with cage" listed on the www.INA.com bearing site as HK 3520 , DIN 618-1 / ISO 3245. There is a drawing of this when you go and enter in the search. Our bearing is very similar to this except for the outer diameter being 42 mm insted of our correct 44 mm . I suggested shiming this with a round 2mm thick round sleeve. This manufacture I mention is the original VW part manfacturer for this part. I contacted them and they said that this part was not a catalog item but a ' special ' so if company orders dried up, then worldwide production would stop. The part number is very odd to them. They told me they would continue research for this in their worldwide facilities but doubt for any positive outcome . Remember , only replace the bearing if your arms are in good condition, otherwise you must machine your arms and resleeve with hard chrome at an industrial machine shop. When I look up the price and process for this I will relay this information. Plastic bearing replacement only requires that the arms be cleaned or machined depending on condition, no hard chrome is required. Next week I will forward an autocad drawing to Russ to look at the possible brass manufactured replacement.
