I've lost a cover/cap/dust protector/whatever it's called from the top pf the strut tower in the engine bay and want to replace it. I can't find them advertised anywhere as sturt caps or covers or shock caps or covers so don't know what Nissan calls them , nor do I have a parts number to reference. If they are no longer available, does anyone know if the caps sold on eBay for mid-80's 240z cars will fit?

I would imagine you could get them from the dealership, no?

I realize they are not essential, but it does make the engine bay look more finished to have them there. I suppose I should check with the dealer - I just hate to deal with them over there, too many expensive miss-diagnosed issues over the years, you know?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Yeah, this isn't something they can diagnose though. They either have it, or they don't.
The only other option would be a junkyard.

Got mine at Sears when I replaced the front struts!

Had no idea they were called an insulator. No wonder I couldn't find them. Thanks.
