Default Rear hatch rattles

HEy everyone. I have an 89 cherokee 2 door. My back hatch rattles a lot diving down the road. Sounds like a helicopter is chasing me. The shocks that hold it up are shot. Im alao missing one of the little rubber things that are attached to the hatch. I dont know what they are called so im having a hard time finding them. Anyone know where i can find them?

Nevermind. I finally found them. Tailgate bump stops. Sounds like an obvious name for them. I feel like an idiot. Thanks anyway.

Those shocks are called lift gate struts. You can find quality ones on Amazon or rockauto.com
