I didn't remove them and my springs don't make any noise at all. If you get that creaking noise when turning, then your springs/struts probably aren't indexed correctly.

The rubber part needs to be there... If you are getting a loud clunking its probably your top hat is not alligned correctly so the bearing cant turn properly... I took me 3 times to figure out what was wrong with mine... Some will tell you to lube it all up its just a temp fix that will get rid of the noise but not the problem.

Yeah you should not remove them, I posted that in a similiar thread before we moved so it could have been lost.

But it is there to help with metal to metal contact.

yeah defintiely dont remove them, you NEED someting in between to keep them from clunking. trust me, clunking sucks. also dont forget to LUBRICATE!
