    Correct. So either they neglected to fit the new ones when they put the refresh kit on last year or the one supplied in the kit has failed completely. I should have kept the broken bearing to see if I could tell, guess I will never know.

    I'm not sure how a strut top mount causes loss of brake pressure...

    It doesn't but it was causing the clicking/creaking sound when turning the wheels at low speed. The brake issue was cause by the lateral play in the right hand wheel bearing!
