I installed my flex-a-form leaf springs yesterday. Today i took the car out for a spin and I get this constant sound. Kind of like something is rubing.

When i installed the leaf springs yesterday I noticed that the front attaching Bolt (that attaches the front of the leaf spring to the body) was somewhat loose inside the metal sleeve of the bushing. Where as on the old bushing the bolt fit in snug. Would the play with the sleeve and bolt be a problem and also do you guys think that is what is causing the new noise.

It could be. What did the noise sound like? A rubbing/grinding noise? Have you tried lubricating the bushing? How loose is it? Did you use the old bolt? Perhaps it is worn thus causing the play?
