[QUOTE="barspen, post: 14796332, member: 152936"] I get a bad metal-to-metal noise when I back out of the driveway or go over humps. Convinced it's my springs. My FRPP springs were installed at the dealership without the rubber isolator around the coil (I think they were on the stock springs, but never transferred over??), so when the spring compresses, it makes a loud, annoying crunching sound. Trying to find a replacement coil spring isolator has been like looking for a Unicorn farm. Whiteline carries something that should work to wrap the springs...I hope to know in a few weeks. Other things to check (in order) - Make sure everything it torqued to specs: Bolt on the LCA's (and grease them if they have poly bushings) Panhard bar and brace bolts (grease if poly) Sway bar end-link bolts - Also might try Teflon tape when links and bar meet Sway bar D-block bolts UCA Bolts Shock upper and lower bolts Make sure lug nuts are torqued to 100ft/lbs [/QUOTE]
