Are we talking about the bearing that is actually in the arm here?
If so the AW11 has the same thing in one of the rear arms. My plan for sorting it out when I get around to it/need to is to replace it with a rose joint.
The arm is just a fairly light tube so my plan is to find a rose joint with a bearing large enough to allow the bolt to go through it and with a threaded shaft from the body of the joint. Then cut the arm off at a reasonable length. Get a boss turned up that has an outer diameter the same as the inner diameter of the arm for about 2 inches then the outer diameter for half an inch, with a hole down the middle that we can tap for the threaded shaft on the rose joint. Insert the boss into the arm and weld it around the seem. Tap the hole in the boss. Screw a nut onto the shaft of the rose joint then screw the rose joint into the boss.
If needed turn up a couple of conical spacers to keep the rose joint centred in the bracket. This gives the advantage of reasonably affordable replacement for the bearing going forward and also adjustability of the arm if needed. The problems that I can se with it are, getting it past an engineer/scrutineering. Getting a rose joint that has a large enough bore for the bolt but a small enough outer size to fit in the bracket.
Not the most simple solution but I reckon you could do it for less than the cost of a new knuckle.
