Hi,
I recently replaced the ball joints,shocks (koni), bushings, sway bar, painted the upper and lower control arms.
When I reinstalled the coil springs I did not put any insulators in because i didnt take any out.
It makes a little noise now that I dont like and i feel some of the vibrations from bumps in the road.
Did the car come with coils spring insulators ?
How much difference do they make ?
Were they on the top or bottom or both ?
Any input would be greatly appreciated !!
Thanks

 

First gen Camaro's never came with coil spring isolators.

 

On cars that used them the isolator pads were on the bottom, but as mentioned 1st and 2nd gen Camaros didn't use them. My new coils and rebuilt A arms made a few strange noises when first installed. Eventually they stopped after some miles on them.

 

Or you can add a set of spring isolators, they go on the top of the springs (between the spring and frame naturally): 1967-1981 Camaro Front Coil Spring Isolator
It's interesting though, that you can buy "correct" replacements for something GM didn't put on in the first place?

 

I would hold off on doing anything for a while... give the springs some time & miles to finally get seated.
