I have a 08 Cobalt that has a rattle in the rear. From the dealership that I bought it from they said that it is the coil spring insulators that are bad. They look pretty torn up. Does anybody know if this will cause it to rattle?

 

No help??

 

Maybe there easy to replace jack up rear drop shocks springs come out new insulators in reverse order putting back together done in twenty minits.

 

Oh ok. Have you done that before

 

I replaced my springs in the back my insulators where ok even checking them will rule them out if that's not the problem.

 

Make sure you mark the way the springs came out so you don't put them in upside down.

 

Mine rattles pretty good. The circular part if the insulator is really torn up. The nipple part looks to still be OK.

 

I would replace them cant be very expensive.

 

I have the replacment parts in hand, just havnt replaced them. Is the rattle that sound for sure?

 

I don't know without being there and looking at it myself it's impossible to know.

 

I am going to try and install the insulators tomorrow. We will see what happens

 

Hope you find out what's wrong good luck.

 

Thank you. I hope so as well
