3rd gen springs. What to do?

[WM23N1G1]

Hi,

I suppose I question myself (and you  ) for nothing, but I saw this morning when cleaning my springs (I'm going to paint them to match the rebuilt/repainted rear-end) that a rubber part under a metal wrapping is destroyed. 
I know this thread is useless without pics, but... Do you know what I'm talking about? 
Is it really usefull or will I have problems?

Thanks:

if you're talking about what I think you are then that rubber is just an "anti-squeak" pad to keep your springs from making a bunch of noise....it should be okay to drive with out it

Thanks a bunch!
I'll add a pic later for future reference.

Mopar CHASSIS book says NOT to use rear spring isolators for a high performance build anyway....chuck em!

Maybe front or rear bushings? Yeah, you gotta have them!

I think the OP is talking about the rubber insulators on the spring clamps that hold the leafs together, a spring shop will have new ones.

Hi,

camera batteries died last week, and my Internet connection @ home is shot. 
Anyway, thanks for the pic!
