Ben,

Yes, I believe it can be fixed, bushings replaced, re-shimmed to proper end-play. It wouldn't surprise me if dealers sent that kind of work out these days ... probably to a motor rebuilding shop that has access to the parts and expertise/experience to do it.

But, it isn't a difficult job, either! Most dealer technicians these days would probably say chunk it and get a new one! That is the current policy and mentality ... the same one behind Bentley's policy of not repairing/rebuilding calipers, CV-joints, or distributors!
