Did you try the dealer yet? If you have EPC access, look up the part numbers and check all of the online retailers mentioned on this site.

I tried the dealership first. They can’t find availability of this part in there data base. I’ll check epc.

Thanks

I don't know why the dealer couldn't find this. Their Xentry Parts uses the same database as the EPC. Screenshot below.

Standard size bearing is A1020384210, this appears to be replaced by 111-038-09-10, ~$10 each MSRP.

BTW - what caused the bearing failure? That is VERY unusual for an M119.

A few years ago A102-038-42-10 was the standard part number I ordered and installed on my Midnight Blue ‘92 500E.

That bearing wear to me looks like a combination of high miles and shit quality oil that was not changed frequently enough, or the wrong oil.
