Strut top bearing replacement...
Looking at the parts catalog, seems I have to get the whole top block assembly replaced, because I can't find anything about replacing just the bearings. Those blocks are $80 a pop... Is that the only option? Other than getting camber plates, that is.

Yes, the thrust bearings. I did check with Mazda and they say for my model the bearing is part of the block and not a separate part, which is kind of annoying, but whatever. Guess I'll replace the blocks.
