When replacing the coil springs, should the the upper spring cushion be replaced also?  Where can I get a pair of the spring cushions?  Thanks.

You know a buddy of mine did? He used heater hose and wrapped it on top of the spring. More durable. It worked great! My 2 cents. :)

I replace if it's chewed up. Mine weren't. You get a groaning noise otherwise.
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!
