Advice please ... on what parts to pre-order
Hi guys, Having rebuilt my front suspension last week, I am planning to re-do the rear next. I have seen a few posts from people who have replaced the foam rubber cushions around the top of the shock shaft... I suspect these deteriorate like the ones on the front mounts... ( gotta be a better material than this) My question is, since I'd like to pre-order the parts I need, will I also replace the foam cushion under the top of the spring? Should I order the 3 foam parts for each side ,or 2 ? I am planning to use MOTORCARMAN's method of shock removal. Thanks in advance.

You don't have your car model/year in your signature so...
If a XK8 foam replacement maybe enough, though the blistiens mentioned are only about $100 ea, includes all new bushes/foam.
If a XKR you have adaptive damping, these are 350 ea, so just a bush/foam replacement maybe the best choice.
btw. The half-shaft u-joints should be greased yearly.
