A strut assembly includes a piston and a bearing housing around the piston. The bearing housing may also comprise a groove and a tapered surface opposite the groove. A bearing may be in the groove and proximate the piston. An outer cylinder may be around the bearing housing. The angle of the tapered surface may be based on a deflection angle between the outer cylinder and the piston. A wear plate may be around the tapered surface. An elastic material may be disposed between the tapered surface and the wear plate. The bearing housing may comprise a titanium alloy. The bearing housing may be configured to flex towards the wear plate.
