Default Coil Spring Isolater (rubber spacer)

Hello, changing my control arm bushings and buying parts for the repair. I dont see any factory coil spring rubber isolater in the assembly manual? Ecklers does not show one either. Any info or tips would be great. Al

Why do you think one exists for original equipment?

There are aftermarket ones at rockauto.

Its one of the things I was going to ask about as my new springs did not have any and not sure if our came with them from the factory.
Guessing by MelWff's comment that is a no.

I know my 69 never had them, have the car since 73, and the OP has an assembly manual for his 79 and doesnt see them.
