are you a 2 bolt or 3 bolt??
Not that it matters - for the life of me i cant remember.
I seem to think i reused some when we made the lowered struts.

It's a whole piece, the bearing is mounted in rubber that is "molded" to the mounting platform with the 3 bolts that fit to the body. It is not
individually replaceable.
2 bolt ones and 3 bolt ones may vary slightly - or it may just be the spring top cup that varies, not sure.
I don't have any cunning suggestions, cause I replaced mine with spherical type bearings that are rigidly mounted and will probably be quite noisey -
when the car eventually runs.
Cheers
