OMG this is hilarious lol. This thread is so old that I never even found it in my searches for things to check. I'm sure mine are out since it handles like a champ but... I may run out to the parking lot and check anyways! haha

Jorden - can you tell a difference with them uninstalled now?
crazy i know right?

There is definitely a difference. The car sits 1" lower in the front and its not so squirrely turning at high speeds now. It seems more planted. Also it seems to be a lot softer ride too.

How do these go unnoticed!?!? I guess not everyone does their own work and goes over every inch of their car like some of us do.

Hilarious that these are still being found. By now they should be falling out due to deterioration!

I found one on each front spring after owning my car for over a year and even changed my brake lines without noticing them. Yes I am embarrassed about that.

They really should be made in some bright color, not the same color as the springs, struts, under body coating, fender liners, etc.

I assumed they where removed when i bought the car since the previous owner has every service record of from the dealership. This was the first time i had the wheels off since i bought the car last year and got to take a look. I've had the car up on jack stands before changing all the fluids and inspecting the undercarriage. I noticed it when i was doing the front brakes on the car this year.
