V70 struts, how hard to replace upper bearing?

It's not a bad DIY but make sure you've got good quality spring compressors. Needles to say, that is essential to make this job safe.

I wonder if your new spring seat is going bad? How many miles are on it?

I replaced the spring seat in my 98S70 about 12K ago with the cheaper aftermarket one from Eeuroparts and have had good luck so far.

I can't remember where I found instructions on the Internet for removing a disassembly of the strut unit, but if nobody else has a link for it I will try to find the one that helped me last year.

Good luck,

Calvin
