Default DANA 44 Axle Bearings

Hi Everyone,
I need your help. I am replacing the intermediate axle shaft, due to the needle bearing failing. The bearing is a needle bearing located on the left side of the CAD housing (where the passenger side shaft and intermediate shaft connect for 4 wheel drive.) see attached picture I got off of the internet.


When I received the parts from the dealer, I received a bearing/bushing that is a compositeplastic material - non moving. The dealer insists that it is the correct part, and maybe they have just changed it from bearing to bushing. There was a needle bearing in there because I spent an hour getting the pieces out with a magnet!

Can anyone help me here?
