Camelfilter Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Bearing? Yup- looks to me like the strut bearing. See: Courtesy Nissan part Edit #2: Adding If it is a strut bearing, and you are replacing them, you REALLY should want to use the own Nissan ones. Ive read that other brands may have a tendancy to fail very early on. Edit #3: Adding... -oops- my bad not the bearing, see bellow. Sorry!

fleurys Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 That's not a strut bearing.. The strut bearing has a plastic surface for the strut to <glide< on.. It looks more like some kind of seat for the rubber boot that goes over the shaft of the strut... but I never saw this part before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleurys Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 seems to be part of the 54040 assembly ...check it here : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow4me Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 It has me stumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltsnotme Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Well, in your last picture it says on it that it's the 54057, which goes right under the spring seat in the illustration above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall replacing (or even seeing) that part when swapping out my struts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow4me Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 I don't recall replacing (or even seeing) that part when swapping out my struts? You're going to have to tear it all apart once I figure out it's absolutely necessary. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow4me Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Fixed images for you (they're identical, only posted one): thanks! It snaps right into the bottom of the boot. Happy this is solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Ah ha! I didn't use the boots. I don't like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow4me Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 I was COMPLETELY wrong about that metal piece! That piece is spot welded to 54036 and available as a welded assembly as 54040. I have absolutely NO idea why they would offer this piece separately! The bumper top snaps into this and holds it in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
