When replacing the rear springs I think there is a pad or "felt" thats supposed to go between the spring and the rear I assume to avoid squeaking?

Are these available at the local parts stores or do I need to go through Ground up or others?

Also is there any "home rememides" such as rubber tape, plain old felt or anything that you guys may have used?

Thanks

Harry,
Rear springs only have the cushions on the top where the spring contacts the frame.Nothing is needed or used on the bottom.

Ok, but do you know if there availale at the parts store?

Guess I'll take a ride and talk to those goofballs.

Sometimes there pretty on the ball but other times I think they were standing out back smoking crack before I get there graemlins/clonk.gif

Try any place that carries moog products,they are available but may not be in stock.So it can be like pulling teeth.Both napa and carquest's spring lines are made by moog so theres a start.Napa has an accurate website.
