I believe there is only one, but haven't had one apart yet

Would there not be one on each side?
Don't know...

There are a total of two bushings, one bearing and wear puck, and then the shims to adjust after rebuilding.

You can't really determine what you need until you get it apart. The large bushing is the highest wear item.

Call CMG back and see what they say since you already ordered the part from them...

I tore mine apart last night, these aren't real complicated, seem to be real easy to fix/ replace pieces... I'll snap some pictures tonight before I put it back together, and post them here, that way others can understand/know what's inside without opening it up.....

here is a quick pic before I put it back together.  There is just the one large bushing on one end, and towards the other is the round shaped bushing that holds the center piece in the right orientation. My large bushing was worn from the flat edge of the main center piece that runs through it.  I replaced that bushing, didn't replace any shims (they are under the round bushing, slapped it back together and it's like a new piece.
