Yes that bearing that West has pointed out with the Yellow arrow. I was watching a restoration show on DIY network a 4/5 years ago and Mark Lambert (who I just saw at the PI Meet this year) was restoring a 38(?) Club Coupe. He was the one that pointed out that bearing is often neglected and called the original style open bearing similar to one that is used on a bicycle fork. Then showed a replacement from Max Merritt which was a bit more of a enclosed design.

That was actually the show that got me interested in Packards.
