The only way that rubber failing would allow the wheel to be lifted easily would be if it completely detached from the outer part that's bolted to the body and the wheel had drooped enough that it could be raised before the spring hits the body. If the rubber is failing, but still attached, you'd still be pushing against the spring which the upper seat would be pressing against the mount (or body).
