I had Mac springs installed and now when I hit a small to medium bump or when I push the back of the car down with force you can hear the rubber isolators making noise. At least that's what I it sounds like to me. I also had rear/upr control arms installed at the same time.

Is there a quick and easy fix for this??? I was thinking of coating the bottom of the spring where it meets the isolators with oil...

What kind of sound, a creeking sound, or a banging sound. If you think its the springs creeking, Im sure you could spray a little white lithium or something on the springs. Did the control arms you had installed have polly bushings? Do they have grease fittings on them?

I took mine out completely cause I have the same squeek sound? Worked alot better no noise at all. I am going to put the isolator back on the upper rear spring. A little rattling noise going on the bumpy freeway here in Seattle. Other than that it is pretty solid.

ronjon:

Make sure it is not the parking brake cables rubbing on the holes where they come out of the body (just ahead of the rear wheels). Silicone spray or white (lithium) grease will fix it nicely.

just take them out. They will also lower the car a little bit more.
