Question....Installing my tokico blues/h&r springs this memorial weekend and I was reading housecor's instructions..Have any of you reused the gray sleeve for the springs(that rest on the struts) or bought new ones from the dealer? I am also installing new boots/strut springs and don't want to forget anything. Are the sleeves on all four springs or just the front? I am guessing they are on all four..My max is an 01 with 80,000 miles and fear mine are cracked/worn out...Thanks for any input from anyone...Paul

 

I used clear flexible PVC. It's the kind for restaurant ice-makers... remains flexible when frozen, doesn't crack or wear out.

I think they are mainly for the rear springs. Just use the old one from the spring you are removing. Its just to separate the 2 painted surfaces, so it doesn't creak.
