Ford Car Suspension Problems

Posted in Coil Spring | Asked on Sep 9, 2010
Below is the question about Ford Car Suspension Problems,

I had a recent post about me changing the coil springs on my 66 stang, and as I stated it only had 1 coil spring insulator on it and it was at the top, which was not useable at all. So my question is do I need two insulators on the coil spring one at the bottom and one at the top, or do I need only 1 insulator, my car only had one at that was at the top. I just want to make sure this car is done right the first time, and i dont wanna hear clanging noise.

    You could get by without the use of any insulators on that type of suspension , but if you can get new insulators, I say go ahead and put them in on the top only. The bottom of the spring rests on a purch and doesn’t have full 360 degree contact to the spring and the insulator on the bottom of the spring would not stay put well. You will not have any noise if these insulators are left out either, just depends on whether you can get new insulator or not as to whether you use them.
