Default any ideas on where to get rover parts???

the bearing has gone on the suspension on my mg zr.

its at the top between the strut and where it bolts to the car. (where it pivots when you turn the wheel)

its making a horrible noise when turning corners, and is worst when parking as your turning the wheel a lot and the car aint making much noise so u can really hear it.

i popped to halfords but the bloke was really sure what it was called and couldnt find anything. although i dont think they had anything as i saw the options on the computer.
then whent to another shop and they said probably just a dealer part mate. which didnt help as there are no dealers.


the bit i really need is a black ring. 90mm side to side, and the hole in the middle is 70mm. so its like a 10mm dognut. with 20 6mm holes in for all the bearings.


any ideas would be good.

cheers
