Source for upper & lower rubber spring seat
I ordered some replacement struts along with everything else except the rubber seats the coils sit on. No auto part place has them locally and I can't find any online either. I only have the uppers and the lower weren't even on the vehicle. Anybody know where to order some?

I just took mine apart, and there are no bottom rubbers.

Re: Source for upper & lower rubber spring seat
you can get them, but for whatever reason, the part number doesn't link to our cars (ie. won't say "fits MX3"). Check out my worklog under the suspension section for the right part #
*edit*
If I remember correctly, the front suspension only has upper spring seats, rear suspension has only lower spring seats, either way, check out my worklog, that should be helpful

Re: Source for upper & lower rubber spring seat
Thank you, that helps tremendously.
I haven't taken the rear ones out yet but the front did not push out at all when I pushed the shock piston in. I can't wait to get it all back together.

i think your right and the rear doesn't have the upper seat because it's part of the mountim2bad4ya wrote:If I remember correctly, the front suspension only has upper spring seats, rear suspension has only lower spring seats
Re: Source for upper & lower rubber spring seat
I'm working on a similar project...
Rear upper is part of the mount, and comes with a new mount.
You can get the rear lower seat from partsgeek but search for ford escort zx2 coil spring insulator. They also have a set for front lower.
The front upper seems a trick, through them its only available with the upper spring seat.
