I'm not sure what the SA means by "strut mount bearing." Is he referring to the top mount where the damper piston shaft bolts to the top mount, or is he referring to the thrust bearing that the spring seats against up top on the top mount?

Did he show you the car up in the air that he was able to rattle around the spring because it wasn't loaded? You can also jack your car up via the front center jack point till the front suspension is hanging all the way and see for yourself if the spring is loose. If it is, then that's a Dinan problem (and a pretty significant one at that).
