IMS identification help please

[merism]

I've searched this and other sites, only found one reference to the number stamped on my IMS flange. Any thoughts as to is this is a dual or single row bearing? It's an 01 cab with chassis date of feb. 01, not sure of the engine date but it is original.

 

Flange has 017.02 stamped on it, with Germany and some symbol, but no other numbers. Picture attached. Thanks for the help!

Welcome to RennTech 

 

LN Engineering has the most useful information on how to tell the bearings apart, which is by looking at the two flange types:

 

The flange on the left is shallow, indicating a dual row bearing, the flange on the right is the deep style, indicating a single row.

 

Yours looks like the left style, indicating it is a dual row.  The number on the flange is meaningless.

Nice! Thank you, I had not seen this. If dual row then I may leave it for now (car has 37k miles) but will do some more research. Appreciate the response!
