Coil Spring Isolator

Orion · 11-06-2007, 01:26 PM

Alright I have been getting alot of squeaking noises comming from my rear end. any time the rear is moved from side to side or when cornering it makes noise and is really getting anouying. I was told that it might be the Coil Spring Isolators. So I Have been looking around and want to see what are the best way to go. I have seen BBK has some Urithane ones, auto zone has some regular rubbers. So What is the best material, most durable, and will do the job the best? For those that dont have a clue what i am talking about its the little bushing rubber peices that go on the top and bottom of the springs for my rear end.

Urathane is the best over the stock rubbers.

But if your rear is squeaking, you may need to go see a doctor!!!

Mine are polyurathane from energy suspension - changed them out when I installed eibach and rear shocks - the isolators are red. the stang was doing more of a thumping noise and not squeaking on mine. Found the stock OEM isolator were so shot the pig tails were scrapping the control arm spring cuff

BBK Gripp Mustang Poly Suspension Bushings - JEGS

well I ordered some online should take a couple days. they are some BBK Polyurethane ones.

Did you check the UCA's and LCA's to make sure the bushings in them are in good working order? The rear end should not move much from side to side.

yeah I checked my bushings on the control arms and they are good still. and a freind said for me to try spraying WD 40 on the Insolators for the spring and see if it stops. so I did and it stopped for a bout a day I was good no more squeaking but then afater that it started back up.

Cool. Just wanted to make sure you were not overlooking something like the bushings as they are pretty critical to locating the rear end and safety.
