I need help with the item in this picture #54040 what is the name of it and its part #, also I have the item #'s 54322,54320,54329 what else to I need to put my front suspension back to regular shocks and springs, I currently have coilovers and I dont know what parts I need. I know I need #54040 but do I need #54034 too. Pleas someone help

 

54040 are just various fasteners, (B is the nut on top of the strut, BB are nuts for the bolts that attach the strut to the spindle assmebly), 54034 is the spring insulator. Which you WILL need unless you want the spring to squeak and move around, rattle, etc etc. It keeps it from rubbing directly on the mount. If you just have the Ebay coilovers that go over a regular strut, you'll need the new mounting kits and the springset. You should already have everything else.

 

its someting along the lines of upper spring retainer. you will want the rubber seat too. im surprised its not listed here: http://www.kcmaximas.org/tech/suspension/index.html
