Rear Spring Noises

[aussie1926]

Hi I have FG F6 and I have the pedders adjustables in it, the LH rear spring is rattling and stuff, its starting to give me the sh*ts and even more so when the gf is in the car (funny that).

The RH one make noise every now and then but the LH is constant. They are both set to the same settings, has anyone experiacned this before and fixed it?

are you sure its the springs and not rear sway bar bushes making the noise?

[aussie1926]

I just thought it was the springs. How can I test if its the rear sway bar

[Ralph Wiggum]

Jump under and have a look at the bushes on the end of the bar, the bush that secure the bar to the lower control arm wears and the link contacts the lower control arm

As Ralphy said , get under and have someone bounce up and down so you can isolate the noise.

cheers guys, could I just drop the sway bar off and see if the noise is still there or will that effect too much?

?

[aussie1926]

also are the sway bar bushes ment to sit flat in the hole? cause mine are sitting out on a angle

I've got a squeak too, interested to hear how you go.

heres a update, I took the rear sway bar off and it stoped the all the time rattle but genral spring noise increased, took LH spring off and taped up the thread from where my spring sits on the hight adjuster put back together, now the rh side is rattling all the time
