I finally decided to put new shocks on and got the Monroe Severe Duty ones!!
The OEM's were AC Delco not Tokiko or whatever they should be??
Anyway.....AFTER installing them (FUN JOB) I noticed in the boxes were foam hickeys that apparently slide down onto the shaft under the dust sleeve....see attached photo of the old shock!!
What do they do and are they necessary??
I hate to think about doing the whole thing over just for these hickeys!!!
Tnx!!
