Hey fellas yesterday I installed rear koni shocks and when I jacked the car up the rear springs pretty much just fell out. On the passenger side there was only half of the lower isolater left and on the driver side there wasnt one there it was just metal on metal. So my question is when I put in new urehane isolaters do yall think I'll have to compress the spring to get it over the isolater or will it just go on easy like it does now with no isolater at all? My next question is is do I need a specifiic isolater (brand, type, size, ect.) I have sportilne springs.

Thanks

mike

I just put in some new MM isolators recently, you won't have to compress the rear springs. Jack up the opposite side of the rear end to install spring/isolators. Same thing for the other side.

You'll find that most of the aftermarket isolators are polyurethane. Pick your favorite brand or best-priced ones and call it good.
Remember to have the pigtail point towards the driver's side (in case yours fell out before you could see the orientation).
