It does not appear to come out but guess it must do if you guys have listed a separate number for it :dunno:

This link should take you to an exploded diagram of front susp on the Russian site. Looks as if all the bits in the shock top can be had seperately.

The bearing certainly can cos I have a RNR 100090 Bearing Strut Susp sitting on my desk right now.

Can you post an image of your bearing please, I have an theory.

Parts listings showing a black and white outlined image is a little vague.

Not 100% how these bearings are removed from the shock tops I have, brute force as there are no obvious locking features.
I use photobucket David, free and easy to use

Cheers David, will catch up with it later, being sneaky atm reading threads at work

edit:cheers david seems quite straight forward, cannot see any difference on model years tbh, only if the suppliers have changed.

get the numbers off it and see if any autoparts company can cross reference it to other models or vehicles

Maybe wrong but am sure someone on .org said there were only 2 left in the UK, or prehaps it was another part and im mistaken, but it was a part which often fails so was surprising no one has a supply or a source for what ever it was

Not possible to obtain from spax etc, its not a "bearing" in the usual sense either. There might be an iffy third party pattern supplier but I wouldn't bother unless someone was desperate

XPart ran out of these before but its hardly surprising given the amount of highish miles 75s and zt's they are a very high demand part on all strut front suspension cars

Got mine from Rimmers a few days ago. I don't think that there will be a pattern part. The real part is "iffy" enough anyway.
