If he wants your "Dick"..... LMAO!!!

Finally figured out that awful noise coming from the front of the car.... After pulling the accessory belt assembly apart like 20 times replacing all pulleys, AC compressor, Belt, Etc. I decided to check driveline and found the drivers intermediate shaft bearing was toast! Bearing was grinding had about an inch of up/down shaft play and the dust guards where scraping the mount which makes the same sound the AC compressor does when the clutch is failing.....

Ouch! I had to spot weld an e- brake bracket. 2 hrs to fix the welder, 5 min to weld the bracket.

IIRC that ball bearing is a 'loose fit' bearing- I think due to the close proximity to the downpipe. The tolerance of that particular bearing would be denoted in the # stamped on it, & I wouldn't stray from that fit if you cant get the factory one.

Found that the rebuild kit is available and Ninja is waiting to get them in. Comes with the factory bearing and the new oil seal/ dust guards.

The only thing that looks to still be available beyond the rebuild kit is the cast iron hanger with lists for $300 plus. Shaft is not included.

Bearing and shaft are both press fit together from what I could tell taking mine all apart.

Yeah, I went through mine with the factory rebuild kit attempting to get rid of a 'shukshukshuk' noise in my frontend. Didn't help.

Figuring out no spark issue on the new stealth. So many things to check, PITA but i'm narrowing it down one by one.
