Need new center bearing

2005 Xtype, 140,000km
Need new center bearing as howling noise starts at 60km. Repair shops unable to find a rebuilt drive shaft unit so I'm searching the web for a bearing supplier.

Has anyone recently done any shopping for center bearing for your XType?

This confused me at which point I decided to ask on this forum. Personally, I don't see how a sport version differs on the prop shaft (drive shaft) bearing unless it has to do with floor clearance. Still unsure of this, I'll ask the person who posted the instructions which XType version he has.
