Hi,

Can anyone help me locate front upper strut bearings for a 2003 Evo 8 GSR? I am looking to stay with OEM if possible.

I have parts waiting to go on the car and the local shop told me it would be a good idea to replace these bearings. I am putting on new Bilstein HD shocks with Swift spec r springs due to blown struts. I have also purchased new strut mounts for both sides as well. My car has about 113,000 miles on it. I daily drive this car by the way.

Should I replace anything else while this install is taking place? I have searched the forums and was unable to find a clear answer.

Thanks for your help.

 

Is there even a bearing in the struts?

 

Bearings would be in the strut mounts

 

^Correct, your strut mounts aka top hats come with the bearings. If you are looking for a additional adjustability you could take a look at at set of camber/caster plates.

 

They wouldn't run you too much from a dealer, but here is an online source.
