If it is the strutmount bearing (and IMO that's a really good guess) then basically the suspension has to come out ... essentially like changing struts (they fit between the top of the spring and the shock tower), and in fact strutmount bearings are cheap enough they should be changed everytime you do struts.
Just as an aside, if your car is lowered, and / or it has one of those cheapo camber kits, I've known the spring to slip off the bearing and cause premature failure that way.
