Claim:
1. A method of manufacturing a radial and axial combination bearing, comprising: forming a radial bearing ring having a circumferentially extending outer race, an outwardly extending axial flange with outwardly directed anti-rotation projections located radially outwardly from the circumferentially extending outer race, and an inwardly extending flange; forming an axial bearing cup with an axial body having ring retention tabs spaced about an inner periphery located in notched sections, and an outer radial flange having radially inwardly directed cage retention tabs; installing the radial bearing ring into the axial bearing cup with the anti-rotation projections being located in the notched sections; installing a first cage with radial rollers in the radial bearing ring, the radial rollers contacting the circumferentially extending outer race; installing an intermediate washer that forms an axial race in the axial bearing cup; and installing a second cage with axial rollers in the axial bearing cup, the axial rollers contacting the intermediate washer, and the second cage being retained by the radially inwardly directed cage retention tabs, and the outwardly directed anti-rotation projections at least partially overlap the axial rollers in a radial direction with respect to an axis of rotation of the radial and axial combination bearing.
