This little part allows the top of your strut assembly – that’s the shock absorber and spring combo – to rotate smoothly when you turn the steering wheel. It basically lets the whole assembly pivot up and down with the suspension, and also side – to – side when you steer. It's a pretty simple component, but it does a key job. Think of it as a swivel point. When you turn, your wheels need to go up and down to follow bumps in the road, but they also need to steer. The ball bearing sits right where the strut connects to the vehicle, and allows that smooth movement. It's part of what makes steering feel precise and helps keep the tires contacting the road evenly. It’s housed inside the strut mount, so sometimes people will replace the mount and bearing together, which is often a good idea. You can find both through places like Fixparts Online, if you’re looking. If this bearing fails, you’ll notice it. Usually, it starts as a clunking or binding noise when turning the steering wheel, especially at lower speeds. It can feel like the steering is stiff or notchy. It’s a safety thing, honestly. A failing bearing can put extra stress on other suspension components and eventually lead to uneven tire wear or even affect your ability to control the vehicle. It acts like a shield for the rest of the strut assembly, absorbing a lot of the stress from driving, so when it goes bad, other parts can suffer. It’s not something you want to put off fixing.
