Not sure if I'm ansering your question or not but I would suggest calling Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda. I don't know if there is aftermarket for that pillow ball busing.

If he has them in stock he can probably overnight it for you. Search for his name for the phone number. He's excellent to work with and very knowledgable.

That is a pillow ball or spherical bearing. There really is no upgraded. I think Feed may have made some at some point but I wouldn't bother. Get the parts from Malloy Mazda. Replace ALL 6 of them and the dust seals. If you replace just that one, I can guarantee the others are close to being worn as well.
