Hi
They are in the diagram here:

The bottom one seems to be called a seat, and the top, a sheet
I had mine replaced with the shockers...and I had the bump-stops and bellows done, too.
The rubber inserts make more of a metal-against metal squeak when they disintegrate....
I took the parts to the garage to do....I can't do very much in the cold as was at the time.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Cheers
Helen
