So taking apart the suspension yesterday to slip out the gas tank, when removing the rear springs, a round rubber piece that was very brittle. It goes at the top of the spring. Does anyone know what that thing is called. I can't find it anywhere for sale and doesn't come with any springs that I see. And do you know of any online part diagrams, cause I have to replace every bolt underneath the car so far. Every one had messed up threads or broke. Some bad luck I guess...

 

it's called a spring isolater, you can find them in the junkyard and on ebay for cheap

 

they sell them at autozone, the package says its to lift the car but its basically the same design as our oe units. they're in the poly urethane section of the salesfloor.

 

I've decide on redoing the whole underbody of the car basically so yeah I was able to figure out the name of the item with tbi guy up there lol, did some research and I'm just going to get them when I get my new bushings. Everything is so cracked and worn, can't even put it back under the car. And one more question, as far as bolts go for the suspension is there anywhere I can get the specs for them, cause the dude who owned the car before me basically put whatever he had laying around and made them fit, hopefully you get what I'm saying.

 

Just an FYI: Be careful that you don't purchase a fourthgen isolator as it wil jack the car up an inch or so, IIRC.
