Swift Spec-R Spring Squeeking!!

Farmyjupiter6 · 08-18-2018, 01:40 PM

Guys, I realize this is adding onto an existing thread BUT I no longer have the stock plastic silencers from the OEM springs..

I had the Swift Spec-R springs installed(At a shop) on my low mileage (36K) Sport 7AT. I also had the Z1 street front upper control arms as well as the rear SPC Camber arm and toe bolts.

I researched EVERYTHING on this set-up except this one oversight: Day 3 (with day 1 and 2 being trouble free) with the springs and they are so loud and squeeky that its embarassing. I just confirmed that the shop DID not swap the plastic silencer sleeves from the OEM springs..Worse the stock springs do not have those sleeves on them, I don't know if they were ever on to begin with. I'm fairly certain this is why I'm hearing this...

Whats my options now? I checked ebay and have no idea how to get these sleeves. Would anybody be able to suggest an alternative and more importantly how to go about it?

Thanks guys!

You can try electrical tape. Won't last but will tell you what's making the noise if it stops.

I'm not gonna do your research, but find the spring diameter and just find a silencer that fits. I know Tein makes some you can buy that just slip on so you don't have to uninstall.
