Wrong stearing shaft??

[Hopper]

1999 TJ lower intermediate shaft. Isn't there supposed to be needle bearings in the rubber?

Every one I have seen has a white 2 piece housing with cage style needle bearings-

If anyone is into these,
you might as well go ahead and drill a hole for a needle grease fitting or spray grease.

These notoriously get ran dry.

Thanks Andy. Installed the upper today. Gonna reach out to the seller Monday about the lack of bearings. Good idea about the drill hole
