Those Darned Upper Mounts, UM Bearings, and Struts

I DIYed my struts (KYB), upper mounts (dealer purchased), and upper mount bearings (dealer purchased) about 6 months ago. When I fit the upper mount bearing and the upper mount on top of the spring assembly (out of the car, of course), I didn't get a great seating. When I turned the upper mount I could tell that the bearing was not perfectly seated. I worked to correct the seating, but couldn't totally correct the problem. Both the upper mount and the bearings looked different than the ones I took out. The new bearings had a black side and a whiteish side, and both sides appeared to be identical in form (as I recall). I put them in anyway and the car performed perfectly for about 4 months. But now I have what sounds like gringing bearing when turning. Sorry, no part numbers or pictures. Can anyone comment on this? Any suggestions? How can I be sure that I have the right upper mount and bearings when I try to fix the problem this spring. Could it be something other than the bearings. I am pretty sure it is on both sides. Many thanks
