Replaced worn strut bearings

[FunctionSpec]

Finally replaced the strut bearings after about 150k miles (worn strut bearings in attached pictures). When taking them out, they were completely worn and had tons of play. These top strut bearings hold most of the load and deal with up and down and side to side forces, so they definitely will wear out quicker if you are lowered and do lots of spirited driving.

If these are worn, they will effect the way the car handles. My steering wheel was crooked even when getting multiple alignments and the steering felt slopping and all over the place. When replacing the strut bearings, steering feels a lot more direct, I turn the wheel and it goes in that direction. Steering wheel is straight now instead of crooked so it fixed that alignment issue. Would definitely recommend replacing these if you haven't yet.
