Driveshaft components - critical ?

I've just removed the driveshaft on my 86 GTV6 and upon inspection I've noticed that I'm missing a part which is illustrated in the shop manual image attached.The interior bore of the front donut is a little chewed up and I wonder if this due to this "protective rubber cap" being absent.Do...
