Broken rubber on Tein SS....

I've noticed that my rubber was broken just like its showing on that picture.

Is it necessary to replace these?

I wonder if mine are broken. Had them for a few years already.

Are you guys experiencing any squeaking sounds when going over bumps?

one of my coils are starting to rip like that was well... 3yr old super streets w/ about 20k on em. If i can recall.. it did affect me being able to adjust the height to my liking because it felt as if the rings were grinding and locking up against the rubber piece... then again it might be just dirt n debris trapped in the threads.

As far and squeaking = none.
