it protects the shock from dust... but it's not a neccesity.

My friend said it would be worth going to a junk yard to get some... but i ended up using the stock ones even though they are close to shot...

like bee said, it helps protect the shock shaft from dirt and dust.
without them, the life of the shocks will be reduced.

Tirerack has them, so does rockauto.com, but at better prices (though shipping varies).

no need to freek out, you just need a new ring-clip that goes on the end of the axle.

in the pics I dont see your bump stops. I would recomend putting thoes on, else your shocks could bottum out and cause damage to the shock and spring. although it would have to be a good bump to do so.
