Shock Mounts Problem.

Ok, Ive had a lincoln mark VII for a long time now. Its been my first car and I still love it. I recently got ahold of a prime condition Lincoln Mark VIII. 1994. Blue and wood grain int. Canvas top.. its nice. Upon testdriving I only found one problem with it. A noise in the back sounding like something was moving around.

Upon further investigation I found that on both sides of the car. The shock mounts are out of the holes. If you need pictures just ask, but basically. Its a Hole with a rubber gasket and some type of sealent. The hole holds the top of the shock in with this piece that is shaped like a two washers on a pipe, the one lower being slightly smaller so it will "pop" into the hole.
Now the thing came out of the hole and I want to put it back. Without it resting in the hole the shock has no pressure.. its just sitting on the airbags.

Is this a major problem? Can I still drive the car until I can get it fixed?

Any way I can fix it myself?
