Well, who put that in there? June 24, 2007, 11:35:26 PM I was under the car today when I noticed there are rubber cylinders in my front springs. Thought that was a little odd, but considering how much I know, I consulted my Haynes book, and nothing is mentioned. I'm about to replace the springs (might now turn into a whole front end rebuild), and I don't know if these are needed. I'll get pics tomorrow if I can find my camera. Quote Selected
