Rubber coil spring silencers
Does anyone know if there is a difference between the top and bottom, left and right, rubber coil spring silencers on the front of our cars. For some reason my car only had 3, so I dont even trust they are in the proper place (if there is a proper place). I checked them over for any markings but can't seem to find any.

Re: Rubber shock silencers
There are spring insulators on the top of both springs, but that's it--and they're the same.

Yeah, that is exactly what it is. Sorry, I didn't really know how to explain what it was and I guess I didn't do a good job at all.

There is only top, no bottom, all the way around, for a total of 4. The fronts and rears are different.
