My spring pads are looking a bit moth eaten, can i do without them or are they there just for comfort i.e less noise transmitted into car?

They ain't expensive even from the dealer, so I'd just replace them... :thumb:

Would have thought that they help keep the spring in place as well. You might loose a rear spring if you go over a lump in the road too high or something>
