Where is this located, and how do I replace it? I am getting noises.
C.
Between the strut and the mount.
Take the stut loose (2 big bolts on bottom, 2 nuts + 1 bolt on top). Take the mount off the strut (1 big nut on top). Pull the mount all apart, one the pieces is the bearing.
Those directions are grossly simplified. It's really quite a lot of work. If you're up to it, you may want to buy a Haynes or Chilton manual. You'll also need an alignment when you're done.
Could someone post a pic of the ball bearing assembly or the pillow- ball???
The bearing assembly:
Opened up, it's only got one BB left, the rest ran away:
It's not hard to open up, service, reassemble; thats why we generally prefer these.
Does the rear strut mounts have ball bearings???
Cause I sprayed some lithuim grease up there and read somewhere on the org. that it is bad to spray grease by the ball bearings cause it attract dirt.
The bearing assembly is fairly sealed up. I seriously doubt spraying anything up there will get into the bearings that easily. I would take it apart and properly grease it, spray lube is a terrible replacement for bearing grease.
The rear has no bearing, it's just the "bearing plate".

No bearings in the back. The rear assembly doesn't rotate so none are needed.
