Default Shock Mount Isolator

Today I decided to tear everything out and try to find out why my steering and suspension feels so sloppy. I was shocked (no pun intended) to pull out a shock assembly to find that there was NO spring pressure and the hole from the shock mount was totally reamed out. Part of me feels like a dumb *** ... and the other part is just glad that I found the issue.

* I'm not sure that "isolator" is the right part description. It's the very top piece that sits in the top of the shock mount.

Yes, that's the correct name. Look for either Moog #K6573 or Monroe#903933

Thanks ... I used the stockers. That's how I knew that I left those pieces out... not to mention how squirrelly the steering and suspension has felt. I saw them sitting on the shelf next to the stock shock mounts. If I hadn't had lowering springs, I probably would have had to compress the springs prior to removing the assembly. Things would have been violent with the taller stock spring.
