Rear Blisten F4-BE5-2451-H0 come with rubber grommets?

Hi Guys,

I bough a set from a local member (fr and rear), I am not sure if I am suppose to use the rears with OEM rubber grommets?, please see pic of what I have below

Also, look at this link via google search and it does not appear to have any either

If I do need them, any idea what would be the best route in getting replacements, would it be the manufacturer?

Thanks

Just got done with both rears, the driver side was already broken so it was easy removal but the passenger side took some improvising. In case this might help someone else I disconnected the lateral rod from the axel and raised the frame (wheel is on the ground) this will give enough room to get a 14mm deep socket with the 1/4 driver in there, just get it wedged in b/w the body. Then I clamped on the metallic dust shield and twisted until the old bolt sheared off.

Sawzall. Just cut below the upper mount. I put the Bilsteins on and they ride real nice. The only change I made was to paint my shocks black before installing them
