Urgent - strut bearing plate!

Hi all,

I'm in the middle of getting the PSS9's on and I just realized I need to reuse the strut bearing plate (the plastic/rubber sandwich with the ball bearings in it)! I got a new mounting plate but not a new bearing plate. In all the articles I read before starting I never saw mention of people replacing that part with new...

Anyway, is it generally considered normal to reuse it? Being a Sunday it will be impossible to source that part today...

Thanks all!

Just inspected and cleaned the bearing plates. They look in great condition with the only impairment being the dent of the old spring in the rubber. Doesn't seem like an issue to reuse them... Although maybe I should repack with more grease? Not sure what type of grease Porsche uses though.

Thanks!

So I just rebuilt the bearings...  New grease, cleaned, and they slide super-smooth now.  I hope I don't have any issues!

 

If anyone has any comments, feel free!

 

Thanks!
