    Is there a way i can grease up the upper strut bearing w/ the housing...

    assembled to the car? I'm getting a creaking noise from the pass side when turning the wheel....and want to see if shooting some WD40 will help a bit. I just don't know if i can gain access to the bearings somehow. Anyone?

    I really doubt that wd40 would do anything. I think it needs real grease.

      wd40 is a degreaser.

      it will make it squeek more.

        WD40 is not grease.. but to answer your question, yes. remove the dust caps from the tops of your bearings (hopefully they're still there) and squeaze some bearing grease down in there (CV grease works fine).
