Have to had a used Left Front strut installed in place of one where my
lousy tech broke 1-2 boltson the balljoint housing and temporarilly
welded the ball joint about 3 months ago (that lasted a few months this
way) Anyway he slapped the complete strut so quickly I didn't see what
the H%^L was involved, so now it seems there is something seriously
wrong with this strut or the mount (bearing) very noisy and when I
jacked that wheel off the ground to replace winter tires it appears
there is extreme play in the top end of the strut (something binding
when a turned the wheel from side to side while still off the ground)
does anyone know what is going on?

Check for a broken spring.
