So yes, but finding the part(s) can be difficult.

Maybe a metal workshop can make the bearings for you. Rubber O rings can be universal.
Two things:

The SKF company has the largest selection of bearings in the world and they may have a reference for yours.

O-rings are avalable here in the US from a source which sources MB, Chrysler, Ford and GM in a city near Detroit.

I buy many unusual O-rings there for Citroens, so it is easy to mail O-rings if you need them.

Plus, if you need such helkp, I speak, read, write German and I can look to see if I have the Reparatur handbuch for the 200D in German if you need this.

But ebay.de has these also for not so expensive a price.

Viel Gluck!
