I went with the bushing. Not sure what brand it was, under $5.

I also went with a bushing. I've read many times how the bearing will tend to fail after a while. Save yourself a headache and go with a bushing.

Bushing..no moving parts. Bearing= grenade, don't ask how I know. JEGS carries the bushing.

I got a bushing at Napa for 4 or 5 bucks. Works fine. If I had to do it over I'd probably go with the OEM bushing.
