Need to know the part name
When i did my suspension not to long ago, i realized that on the rear struts, there are two orange gasket looking things that go on the top of the strut where it meets the underside of the trunk. My impression is that it is a gasket that prevent water leaks into the trunk. Well, one of them is bent all out of shape and i want to get a new one when i redo my suspension in the next week or so. Im concerned about getting a new one because my stock strut was rusted where the gasket was bent at and i dont want my illuminas to get rusted. These orange things are also on the front struts also.
-- My question is: what exactly is this "gasket" called? Ima go to the Nissan Stealership to get some, but i dont want to sound like an idiot

Go to your local auto parts store and buy a sheet of headder gasket material to make new, thicker gaskets. They isolate the car's suspension from the body of the car better and actually help reduce suspension and road noise transmitted into the body of the car.

Works great!
I called AutoZone to ask if they had gasket material and they actually asked me what kind of car I was going to use it on Holy crap, it doesn't matter! Just tell me if you have it!
