Noisy Coil Springs? Try Adding this

Have you upgraded your suspension and are noticing a noise coming from the rear of the vehicle? That noise could be coil slap. A coil spring noise can be Coil Slap, coil slap is a noise that some people get when the coil spring opens or closes.  In that tightly wound spot of the coil, you can place one of these silencers to prevent that metal on metal sound, sometimes referred to as a clunk, or just noisy coil springs in general.  Many OEM coils have a similar type of thing installed, and they can be very difficult to remove from the OEM coil and replace onto the new coil (that should be done every time), but they can sometimes break or tear when removing them.

Don’t forget, if your original coils already had these wrapped around those coils, they should be pulled off and applied to the new springs. They are usually glued or stuck on, so be careful when you go to remove them. You might need a heat gun to loosen up the adhesive.

Dobinsons make new coil spring silencers in 2 different sizes to correct this issue. On variable rate coil springs, you would put it closer up to the top where the coils are more closed, as this is probably where the noise is happening. These are made in 2 different sizes, so order appropriately based on what side ID your coil springs have.
