There is only one bearing that goes in there and they stopped making the red dot bearing a couple years ago. The new ones no longer have the hole that lined up so you could grease them (reason for the red dot)

paul,some will argue that the red dot bearing is not necessary,but imo,you can never go wrong useing it,it is slightly thinner than a std bearing,but it will work with any u joint combination,and price is about the same,so i say why not,and i install a lot of them.
