[s-cars] More suspension questions

[Paul Gailus]

I haven't checked the numbers on the physical parts, but I believe that:
#26 is the threaded cap for retaining the strut insert which you describe below.
#41 is the black plastic cup that the bottom of the rubber boot attaches to.
#34 is the large metal cup (washer) that distributes the compression force of the strut damper on the bottom of the strut mount. The label "retainer" for this part is confusing. However, I believe #34 is this washer because it's above bump stop #29 and it also looks similar to the part in the drawing.
