Shock top gaskets - important ?

How important are those pink/red gaskets that sit on the top shock mountings ?

 

Car currently on jacks while I fit my new suspensions, and discovered the original gaskets are all torn and now useless.

 

What are they for, do I need to replace then, are they generic enough that nissan dealer would stock ?

 

:rolleyes:

 

Thanks,

David

    I left mine off. Haven't noticed any ill effects yet, though my car has always made all sorts of creaks and squeaks...
