Any cure for noisy rear coil springs?
My passenger rear coil spring is really noisy. I have the stock rubber isolator/bumpstop in there. Why would my spring make a metal rattling noise when hitting dips or shaking it by hand. My rear passenger shock, Bilstein, is shot to. Oil leaking from seals, but this wouldn`t have anything to do with the noise from spring would it?

Are you sure the noise is from the spring and not the "dead" shock? I'v had many instances over the years of a bad shock or one w/loose hardware sounding as if the suspension was about to go belly-up.

In parking, I grabbed the spring and shook it and it made that same noise I hear when driving. There is some play but very little. I would think the spring would be in there tight with the weight of the runner keeping it in place but that is not the case. Even if I removed the isolator it shouldn`t make any metal to metal noise, would it?
I also moved the rear by jumping on bumper to test the shocks and no noise.
