Can't prove it of course, but IMO it wasn't put there by the factory. Some
DPO or DPM probably lost the springs and stuck that plastic in as a
replacement. I don't know of a source for the springs, which are only to
keep the stator tube from rattling against the steering shaft, so my
suggestion would be some strips of thin felt. Try your local fabric shop,
they should have felt.
