Why would a bad strut bearing make clunking noise

[Bill Rowe]

i've read this in numerous places but i can't understand why a plastic part
(at least the casing is) would casue a clunk when it's bad unless of course
the casing breaks and the bearings are striking the metal plate.  is that
the scenario under which a bad strut bearing will clunk?  thanx.
