those guys aren't that much money.. pull the struts off and put things back together right.

if you're talking about the rubber "sleeve" on the end of the springs, they're not necessary, but they will keep down noises and squeaks.

hey man i got the same problem.
meh...i'm just gonna wait until it gets really bad and then replace the shocks/struts/springs with aftermarket stuff.
but what's really scary is...the rubber boots that keep **** from getting into my cv joints are all torn up. one or two are still barely hanging on the others are gone.
