No, this never exsisted in spite of what you may read on the internet.

Assuming the car still carries its original engine, 97-99 were all dual rows, 2000-2001 can go either way (you have to pull the car apart and look), 2002-2004 were all single rows, 2005 was another transitional year when you had to pull the car apart to see what was in there (single row or non servicable oversized), and 2006-2008 were all the non serviceable bearings.

If the car has a replacement engine, all bets are off as you then need to either determine the year of the replacement or pull it apart.
