I just replaced my suspension -> Heavy Duty Blisteins, Eibach Springs and IPD anti-sway bars. I highly recommend this combo. Anyway, I've been chasing down a rattling sound after this update. My mechanic said that it wasn't the suspension because the sound couldn't be reproduced with the car not moving. To cut to the chase, after removing everything in my trunk and not getting rid of the sound I started looking under the car. I found that the nut that keeps the rear spring sleeve tight was loose and allowing the rear spring sleeve to rattle when going over bumps. At least I think it is call the rear spring sleeve (the centering part for the rear spring).

Question - I can just tighten down the nut and have it self-align, right? If not, what needs to be done?

Thanks in advance!

Yes if you just tighten it you should be fine.

 

Thanks Tech! My mechanic ripped apart the trunk when doing the install and broke a lot of the plastic fasteners in the process. Other than combing junkyards, does anyone know where to pickup these fasteners (the ones that are a push insert and a 90 degree turn to remove)?

 

Home depot and Lowe's have a lot of plastic plugs in the hardware dept. I use them all the time and cheap. They also have some metic if you need them.

Sorry I get them from the Dealer.
