1995 Regal Front Strut Question

Went to replace the front strut cartridges on my 95 regal tonight and the right front jounce bumper was completely broke up and basically gone. I went ahead and put it back together without it. How important is this jounce bumper and where can I find a new one. The other side was in pretty good shape but did feel a little brittle as well.

Thanks!

that jounce bumper is still available through AC-Delco, part#501-3 (GM# 19132278) and run $24.28 ea at the dealer (less if you have an AC-Delco supplier in your area).
