It would be best to use a 1/2" spherical bearing (Auroura, etc) and make an adapter to step the strut shaft to the right size for the bearing.

No prob.  Think of kind of a top-hat shaped adaper that would install from the bottom.

The little ridge on the adaper would rest on the ridge of the strut and stop on the bottom of the bearing ball.

Did some like that for my buddies Mustang and for another's Supra.
