Just sent you an e-mail.

I have a pdf file (about 233K in size) that I can e-mail to you.

Let me know.

I just took mine out last week and believe me #15 doesn't move... it's bolted down thru the top. #14 is a thick rubber part, so it'll allow the spring some movement.

Nissan part number is 54325-31U01 - about $18. Looks like it is the same for all 95-99 Maximas.

I was told that if I have creaking when accelerating that I need to replace the strut bearings, does that sound right?

the part is bolted in that swivels with the spring. It has almost an external part that swivels. It is almost like a bearing that is surrounded by plastic that swivels, if that makes any sense.
