rubber spring isolators (front), are they neccessary?
it seems like a pita just to get the front springs back in place where they belong,how is that rubber ring supposed to stat put while the spring is being cram-jammed back up there? can anyone tell me what harm it could do to leave these out while re-installing the springs,besides rubbing,and making some noise.

thanks fella's, I lost one too and I'm not sure how long it's been missing. I just ordered the stock rubber isolators today (all I could find ) so,I think the right thing to do would be to put them in with the springs. I just heard about the tape trick at the GM dealer too. could there be a way to prevent these from wearing pre-maturely?? such as teflon grease,like the stuff that came with my PST bushings?
