Question for those who did suspension installs themselves... problem gathering parts.

Is there anything sitting between the metal spring seat and the spring coils when it is assembled? Aside from the spring wrap????
Is there a rubber bushing there or not?



I am getting ready to take my Ground Controls out and put regular springs in. I bought the car this way and I do not have stock parts.
I know that dustboots are not used with Ground controls.. and the big metal spring seat is not used in the front..

I got the metal spring seat and dustboots and used nissan-auto-parts-dealer.com for stuff.. according to their diagram, there is a circular thing that sits inside the spring seat, so i ordered the parts and they sent me the spring seat and spring wrap when i asked about it, they told me that was the part in the diagram.



thanks in advance.

The upper spring perch has a thick rubber ring that the spring seats in. The lower sturt seat is only isolated by the isolation sleeve on the last coil of the spring.

I might have one or two laying around, if you want me to do your suspension install I might be able to help you out with misc. old parts I have laying around.
