Front Suspension Strut Bearing Installation (Middle East Only)

When replacing the front suspension upper strut bearing, it is critical that the new bearing is installed correctly. The top half (white in color and large radius edge) MUST be installed into the upper strut mount as shown in the following pictures.

If the bearing is installed upside down, the larger diameter white portion sits incorrectly in the mount. This results in binding of the strut bearing, causing stiffness and limited return of steering to straight ahead position.
