"Strut mounts/bearings"


  

          

Are the strut mounts serviced as an assembly with the rest of the air strut? Or are they separately serviceable? I have a noisy one.
Thanks

On top the strut bolts directly to the strut tower. It does not rotate like some suspension designs so there are no bearings. If your noise occurs when you turn the steering wheel it is more likely one of the many pivot points (upper or lower ball joints, tie rod ends, sway bar end links) than the strut.
