    Yep, the strut top bearing, which sits just inside the bottom of the strut top bushing. If ball bearings were out then they strut top bearing, and probably bushing too, are totally screwed, so you probably want to change them soon as you can. I used the SuperPro strut top bushing and bearing (all comes together) and would recommend them. Also I'd be doing both sides at the same time.

    yeah if you can put them back together then you could probably get away with them but eventually it will just come apart again and need replacing anyway
