Rear springs
My rear springs are starting to sag and make noise. I checked my local parts stores and appears they can not get it. I went to different website looking for a set of rear springs and came up with nothing. I have the GM part number to still no results. Any ideas of where to look?

Lowering springs are available through H&R but standard springs are probably only available used. The front springs are different based on engine and the rears by body style I suspect. I cut one coil on my rear springs and left the front alone then adjustable lower arms, new struts and a good alignment. My car made clunky noises with the old struts, new new struts make no noise.

I replaced the front springs and struts last year. I replaced the rear struts about 6 months ago. The rear springs were fine. Then about a week ago, I go over a bump and they squeak and clunk. Would it be for me to get the lowered springs or just cut the ones I have?

I would see if one broke first. When I lowered my car I had to buy the adjustable lower arms and then explain how to align it to the alignment shop. The computers don’t know about the toe adjustments on these cars. They think it is a shim car and in reality the toe is set at the front of the lower arms.

I didn’t know that. Thanks for the information. I found the H&R springs on eBay that you were talking about. It will lower the car about an inch which I can deal with.
I will get the car to my mechanic and get it up on a lift.
