One of the upper rear spring seat is failing and has one side sitting a little but lower than the other. Would replace both if I had to, but at $70 each seems a bit high for the rubber. It would most likely drop the back end about 1inch and it would match the height of the front if I just removed them. I was wondering if this rubber part is necessary? Would it affect anything with them gone?

Part Number 55050-AL500 is the rubber seat I'm referring to
