As long as they installed the spring isolators (which I see the top one.) I wouldn't be worried about that rubber sleeve, I'd be more worried about how rusty everything is under there lol

Rubber sleeve missing. Really not needed. I don't have them on my car. It can't really fall out. The spring was installed with it missing
