Default OE IMS bearing avilability

I'm working or repairing a '99 engine and although the IMS bearing feels and looks good, I wouldn't mind replacing it. Did a search for the last couple weeks and all I can find is LN beating. Is the factory one available?

not worth the effort of a complete tear down... Unless you are looking to do a few mods.
