Strut Bearing Plates?

[mosho93]

I did a search and couldnt exactly find what i was looking for. what is the exact name for these? where can i get some? and what are some of the symptoms if they are going bad? TIA

Sometimes they're called Mounting Plates or Strut Bearing assemblies. Symptoms usually involve power steering fighting back (bearings going bad) or a popping sound as you go over bumps coming from the top of the strut. They're a PITA to change unless you take the whole strut off. Once you do that, though, it's easy. Make SURE you get new bearings; those are important, they allow the strut to turn...

Agreed with above. I found it easier to get the bearings from napa, AZ, rock auto, and the mounts from Ford dealer. They are 2 different things. Your dealer will have a picture(breakdown) on their computer.

Well, there is Intrax springs in the car now with stock struts that are worn out. there will be a set of Tokico's going in probably, Should they just be replaced then? or is something that is a must now?

if the struts are allready blown, it could wait

Check with Mike Kopstain at Midwest SHO. Got a good pair of bearings with the rest of my suspension order there, and he's a real good guy to deal with to boot.
