Pilot bushing or bearing
Which is better to use a pilot bushing or pilot bearing? Have a new GM part# 14061685 pilot bearing in the shop. Usual parts sites don't show a GM bushing in stock would have to be a Doman or Timken. Don't want to do the wrong thing here.

According to Bill (ZF Doc), all the OEM Bronze fluted bearings are now discontinued and are unobtanium. Next best course of action is the GM Roller Bearing and the part number you have is the correct one.

wish we could ‘sue’ to get them to keep these ‘wear-item’ parts in production
