With the car on a lift yesterday, I jumped at the opportunity to snap a ton of pics of the undercarriage. I noticed that the driver side rear spring has a bushing or coupler (?) at the base of it. The passenger side does not. It’s metal on metal. Is this ok?
Those are the spring isolators. They help quiet down the springs. They add a touch of height to the ride as well. You do not need them if you dont want to. I lowered my car a few months ago and I chose to not re install them
NPD looks like they have them. You have to do creative searching on their site to find some items.
OEM rear - here.
Example of search for "insulator" - here.
Thank you, Tillerman, for the links. I believe there is a NPD about 10 miles from me. Will contact directly and see. I appreciate you doing the hunting, especially on their website, which can be frustrating!
