Ok last week i finished my suspension setup, kyb agx with eibach Prokit. Changed all four struts mounts with new monroe mounts, still same oem part. Put new front lower and upper spring insulator, but cannot find a part for the rear spring so installed like the oem part with no lower insulator. After a little ride a could hear a metal to metal sound "clunk " from the rear on some bump. So i ended cutting part from a tire tube and fitting to the lower struts parts. Another ride, more aceptable but i still hear the sound also. After research i found that progessive spring need isolator in the upper part of the spring to avoid spring hitting together. So i buyed this :
The part is an urethane tube to isolate the upper spring . So my question is how i install them, the inside diameter of the tube is bigger then spring diameter. I read somewhere that i must use an hair dryer and heat the isolator until it heat-shrinks to the spring, but can i heat urethane ??? Does someone can help me on this.
When I did mine, the stock rears never had a lower insulator, I installed my pro-kit the same way as stock, without one.
kinda what I wanted to know too
Ok, my problem is not the lower rear insulator is the upper part. It's a tube that is molding to the upper part of the spring, not the rubber part that sit on the lower perche.
It's the upper part of the spring that are in red. The tube is molding to the springs to avoid part of the spring hitting together. So my question, can i heat Urethane with hair dryer to mold to the spring cause the inside diamater of the tube is bigger.
