The bush & bearing (or should I say bearing ring) are at the top of the strut. It isn't possible to see the bearing & difficult to see the bush without removing the whole strut.
To check the bush hasn't collapsed though, with the bonnet open, bounce either side of the car & listen for any knocking coming from the top of the strut tower
