Reuse coil spring seat?

[ohioshodude]

Can i reuse my coil spring seats without issues? They are fairly rusty but i figure they are still good, no? i'm thinking i'll just sand blast them/paint and put them back on the car.

are you talking about the upper bearing plates in the front?

i think so. the piece that the spring rides on and is covered in rubber. i actually looked them up the other day and they are only $13 a piece, maybe i should just get new ones.

Pony up the cash and get the new ones. You're gonna have it apart anyway. Do it once, the right way. It'll save you headaches later.
