no. you can replace the other 2. ** there is a small needle bearing inside the part that pivots, you can replace that too. most of them that bearing is wasted and noone changes them. just pack it with grease. it takes a little more patience to replace the other 2 but its not hard. feedback and votes are greatly appreciated.
