Okay, on the heels of my last thread:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...hing-else.html

I've gotten together some suspension components, O2 sensors, a few odds and ends, and a new P/S pump(decided to leak like a sieve last week so that's a priority) for some more work on my '99. Picked up Bilstein HD shocks(on the stock springs) and KYB mounts.

However, when the mounts came in I noticed there were no strut bearings with them. I've done some searches and can't seem to find any for sale. I remember having them on the strut mounts on my previous car('05 Corolla), but are they a thing with the LS400? If so, where can I get them? I want to make sure I'm not missing anything when I start installing everything in a couple of weeks.

Thanks in advance!

What bearings are you talking about?

I've never heard of strut bearings... please explain

the corolla has a McPherson strut style front suspension which enables the entire strut assembly to pivot as the steering wheel is turned, hence has a bearing in the upper mount.

the LS400 does NOT have a McPherson style front suspension, it has wishbone. thus it does not require a bearing in the upper strut mounts .

Thanks, that answers my question! I was thinking that might be the case but I wasn't 100% sure.
