72 Tailgate Interior Rod Rattle

[harrij4]

Hey - this should be easy. I'm chasing down some of the more egregious squeaks and rattles on the K5 and one of them is inside the tailgate. I believe it's the rods that connect the latch handle to the plungers on the edges of the gate. I can bump the tailgate with my hand and hear something rattling against the sheet metal inside the tailgate. Assuming that's the problem, can someone tell me if these "insulators" are what I need to resolve that problem? Otherwise I'm just going to get some foam sleeves and put them over the rods.
