Need Help finding Upper/Front Strut bearings

Can you help me find any place(dealership or parts store) online that sells the Front strut bearings. I need to replace them and cant find them anywhere online. Thanks

I just did mine this weekend and the cost was $39 for the one bearing.Make sure your plate is okay also and not beat up.I replaced mine as well.I noticed finally that the previous owner who had new struts put in didn't put the bearing in.That's why the plate went bad also.But get it from the dealer.Or Napa.I went with dealer for mine.

The bearing allows the springs to turn when you turn the wheel. If it's bad then the sping will begin to wind up then let go and make a clunking noise. If it makes noise whether you're moving or not then this is likely it. If it's only when moving then it's something else.
