GMT-900 Strut mount bearing/complete strut assembly

Mossyoakglock · October 1, 2013

Does anybody know where I can pick up a strut mount bearing for a 2008 Silverado?

I'm wanting to get a set of Bilstein HD struts and was thinking about buying all the front strut components and having them installed on the Bilstein struts so I can swap them out quickly. My thinking for doing this is that I won't have a way to take the struts somewhere to have the springs swapped once they are out.

I thought about buying new springs, isolators and strut mounts and having them put together so I don't have to take the old ones out, go somewhere and have the springs swapped, come back and then install. I can take the old ones out and put the new ones right back in. I can get all parts for under $200 from Rockauto except the strut mount bearing. What is that and where can I get one?

What all would I need to make my own complete strut assembly? Strut, coil springs, isolator and strut mount? Anything else? If I can buy a complete used strut assembly with low miles I might do that so I know I have everything.
