I've always understood that the "bearing style" weren't the preferred for replacement but the original "bronze bushing" style. The "ball-bearing" replacements are generally found in the truck & diesel applications where RPM's are substantially less. Not to say that a "ceramic" hi-speed might not be a good product for the chore BUT you didn't mention "ceramic"!

I'll be interested in "opinions"!

The "bushing's" given "noun name" today is bearing but it is indeed an old style "bushing"! A failed "ball bearing" if you had one would have resulted in the "input shaft" being "unstable" and could maybe have lead to the transmission mount flange problems?

GM# 10125896

How's the rest of the project? Balance etc?
