Tail shaft housing bearing part #, anyone have one before I scour the web?

Edit: Found it

Scoured the web and the first 2 hits. Looks like one is a needle bearing and the other a bronze bushing. The one installed is the bronze bush, is the needle bearing an upgrade?

Roller bearings are always better than a soft bushing for durability. If you're talking about the rear tail shaft from the TX case to a drive shaft then make sure the case is not cracked due to the worn bushing.

 

Not cracked... (that I know of)....just started singing in the last couple days. Thanks for the advice about roller bearings, I knew they're better. I was just curious about the one on jbg because the one that's in there is a bushing and it surprised me to see a roller replacement and I was wondering if anyone used the roller and how it worked for them.

Interesting thought though... I have had it off several times and never noticed a crack. Guess when I go to replace the bearing I'll give it a good inspect.
