The parts shown are the candidates for preventive-maintenance
replacement when replacing the struts and/or springs. (Parts not shown should be inspected, but
are more durable.)
List members who responded all mentioned the front's Thrust Bearing.
One of them advised that this bearing is prone to breaking when the strut assembly is taken apart,
and can cause steering wheel re-centering problems and low-speed noise if broken
ones are reused. (But,
he advises, if you have camber plates, the stock thrust bearing won't last.)
If not picking up your order in person, I suggest you clearly print it,
including descriptions (not just numbers) and
fax it to avoid confusion. Nissan's various exploded views are
reportedly semi-generic, the
numbers on the fiche aren't necessarily the same
as the actual part numbers, some parts are identical front-and-back but have
different numbers, and Nissan numbers apparently vary even when the parts might
be (I'm told) the same. Sigh.
(Thanks to everyone who gave input. I've left names out because some e-mails were
private and we didn't discuss a web page. Some are in the SE-R Mailing List Archive, Mar 20-23, 2000.)

These are
stock parts. This list is probably gross overkill, but if you've got the bucks,
several SE-R Mailing List
members recommended replacing all the rubber parts, plus the gasket
and the thrust bearing (only the front has a thrust bearing). Note that although the insulator
is made of metal, it has a rubber insert.
