Strut Bearings
How long do Strut Bearing normal last on the front of the car?
Car has 52k Miles on it, been lowered since original new purchase. Mine are making some really bad noise and they are binding. the bind on turns and can be heard when you approach the steering stops in both direction and when the load shift on the vehicle (initial braking and acceleration).

I have run struts for over 100K miles without having the bearings fail. I think them failing prematurely (i.e. before the struts are due for replacing) would be due to them taking hard hits with the suspension bottoming out.

I figured my 55mph on 10mph corners would have some effect, but the roads are rough around here and that does make sense.

I had one fail last year, but I believe it was related to a defective spring.
