I'm getting a tapping or ticking sound in the front end when turning the steering wheel when the vehicle is stationary or moving slowly. I'mguessing it's the strut mounting bearing. Are these normally replaced when the struts are changed out? Just had that done last year and now I am hearing this sound. Is there anyway to get some lubricant in therewithout removing the strut from the vehicle?Thanks.

They should[/] have been replaced when the struts were done. Unfortunately, they are a sealed bearing, so there isn't really any way to lubricate them.
