Default Replacing front strut on a 04 sedan

What should I use to replace orange foam type material on either end of the coil spring. You know that stuff that prevents metal on metal contact between the spring, strut, and mounting bracket. The car is a 04 stratus sedan.

Default Strut

Yeah I started, I have the strut completely disassembled. I ordered the bushings already and am waiting on those but I can't find the damn spring insulators. Duct tape fixes everything lol

I was able to get both when I did mine from the dealer. They weren't that expensive IIRC.
