          No Mike there is no commercial strut available with actual ball bearings. You would need to buy an oversize speedmaster strut or similar like a 1/4" drive, drill/bore it out to min. 5/16" to fit the smallest 3/16" ball bearings in there. Then there may be issues with lift as the strut becomes a ride pad almost. Not sure what effect it would have if any???

          I sent you an email to come by and see if I can fix up your Miss G. I could drill it out to put in Lead teflon or maybe fix you up with a new sleeve bushing Short as said earlier. Not free mind you, it's a cut down speedmaster sleeve.
