You know if they weren't really needed I don't think the engineers back then would have put them on the car's. Michigan roads are not the smoothest around and I really don't want to find out if they are needed or not. My car has just about everything on it that came from the factory except this part, and even though no one would ever notice it missing I know it is. If I can find one it's going on, if not no big deal.
