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.

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
