Strut mount bearings('99 UCF20)?
Okay, on the heels of my last thread:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...hing-else.html
I've gotten together some suspension components, O2 sensors, a few odds and ends, and a new P/S pump(decided to leak like a sieve last week so that's a priority) for some more work on my '99. Picked up Bilstein HD shocks(on the stock springs) and KYB mounts.
However, when the mounts came in I noticed there were no strut bearings with them. I've done some searches and can't seem to find any for sale. I remember having them on the strut mounts on my previous car('05 Corolla), but are they a thing with the LS400? If so, where can I get them? I want to make sure I'm not missing anything when I start installing everything in a couple of weeks.
Thanks in advance!

the corolla has a McPherson strut style front suspension which enables the entire strut assembly to pivot as the steering wheel is turned, hence has a bearing in the upper mount.
the LS400 does NOT have a McPherson style front suspension, it has wishbone. thus it does not require a bearing in the upper strut mounts .
