anyone not running the rubber spring isolators for rear springs?

[axeman]

i just recently installed new upper and lower rear control arms. when i took the springs out, the bottom rubber spring isolators just fell apart, uppers are fine. so, when i got done with the install i put the upper rubbers back in but not the lowers. i haven't really driven the car too much. i have now noticed a creaking/clunking sound when i back up or pull forward. do you think it's from not having the lower rubber spring isolators? i guess i could buy some and put them in, if that stops the noise, i know what the problem was.

Absolutely. The creaking will only stop once you reinstall those isolators. You can look around but i believe BBK has poly urethane ones...hope that helps

Im not, and i dont have any noises like that. the reason im not is basically because of pure laziness. I forgot to order them and did the springs and MM arms anyways.

i can see that there is space for movement on the spring perches. how do yours look if you know?

ive got weight jackers, so they sit pretty snug in there

Cheap mans fix..... Zip ties & split some heater hose length wise

Seriously though when one of my friends forgot about ordering isolators for the
front...that's what we did... We used 3/4 uinch hose I think
