Upper strut bearing question

[Chuck Pierce]

Thanks for the input everybody.
I pulled the struts apart again to recheck the orientation of the bearings.
Every thing looked good, no rub marks from the spring mount to the mount 
plate.
I will instal the struts next weekend and check them out again.
Yes pulling the strut assembly out of the car does make it easier to do 
the job.
Bernie if you find that write up I would like to read it.
I installed new bearings.
Yes doing suspension work is dirty and time consuming
