Rear coil spring insulators-Help!

[trudge]

I am changing the rear struts on my 95 Aspire. I bought the struts, mounts and boots. I got the first strut off and the coil spring insulators are just toast. I'm assuming the other side is the same. They are no longer made by Ford and I am having a hell of a time finding them anywhere. Has anyone had any luck in tracking these down? Is there a comparable replacement from another make or model? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

the only outlet that shows 2 lower insulators available is Collectors Auto Supply. 800-414-4462. the part# is F4BZ5586A. this is the lower insulator. the upper is F4BZ5586B. Bob Allen Ford 913-381-3000 has 1 of the uppers and one of the lowers. nobody shows 2 uppers in stock. you will probably pay a lot for these but check if you want. since these donuts are just anti-squeak inserts, you could probably make your own out of some heavy rubber sheet approximately the same thickness as the originals.

im not sure 100% that you even need the lowers bc front struts don't have them and the stock festy rears don't have them either .I would keep the uppers tho
