Hey guys as you know 6 months ago I did a overhaul on my 96 ES300 suspension and I replaced everything, now I ordered KYB strut mounts and the bottom of the strut mount sits the bearing now the bearing stays in with a lower metal bottom piece that pushs the bearing up when the spring pushs on it. Now when I turn the wheel it makes a crackling noise on the strut mount area and I am wondering if that part is what is making the noise? Now that part was bought from gabriel parts because I couldnt find it from lexus. Now im thinking about pulling out that part and trying to find a original lexus part but I cant find it for my year. I found it for a 97 heres a link ( its part #19)

Now heres the link for my 96 I cant find on there but the 97 does.

Now if anyone here has any idea where I can find this part or if the 97 part is the same I would really appreciate it or if its something else that causing that grinding noise.
