Need exploded view diagram of rear struts

[billkater]

I have replaced the rear struts on my 98. When running down the road it would start to shake and shimmy at 50-60 miles per hour. It also would drift in turns and you could feel the backend sway.

The drivers side strut was dead, no action left in it at all. The center shaft would go in and out by itself if tipped upside down and then back upright.

There is a rubber pad that goes between the spring and the spring plate that I am needing. It is halfway gone. None of the parts stores in my town no what to call this or can find it listed. The closest dealer to me is 40 miles away and I don't really want to go that far.

Does anyone know of a place on the web I can find a exploded view of the rear struts, or what this rubber pad is called or where to get?

Thanks

Bill

Sorry, my Helm manual doesn't show the piece, it shows a lower rubber piece for the bottom of the spring. All the other pictures are of the strut on the special tool already assembled.

Maybe your dealer would be willing to fax you a printout of the rear strut parts and you could pick it out from that. The dealer here has PartsVision and can print you a page of any of their screens. I have a feeling that this is going to be a delaer part anyway.
