You can upgrade from OEM with this kit. It should have the parts you need. It is from Energy.

looks like I can get the oem part for $5. might not be a bad stand in while im getting it up and running. I want to pull out the front and rear suspension next year and replace all of it.

It's no emergency to repair it. Just order the parts you want and wait for it. Do it right, do it once.
