My son is trying to replace the rubber pads on the ends of the transverse spring. The rear of the car is up on stands and the rear wheels are off. We put a jack under the spring near the trailing arm mount with a block of wood between the jack and spring. We also used a long bar and were able to raise the spring enough to remove the rubber pad. There may be an easier and safer way, I don't know.

our main issue right now is how to install the new rubber pads. We have the Dorman 31066 kit that comes with epoxy and hardener. There is no instruction leaflet and a non removable store to store shipping label was placed on the back of the repackage covering up any would be instructions.

Here is what the kit looks like



Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Okay I called Dorman'* tech line and they said that you use the epoxy on the bottom of the spring as well as in the recess on the rubber pad. In other words you are gluing the rubber pad to the spring,
Now another issue is that originally we ordered a set of transverse spring isolator pads that look like this

Reading on what information we could find online, many people complained about them breaking or being kicked out from under the spring. Some people said they are after market parts that replace the rubber pads and the spring rides on top of the isolator. Another poster said to use both..
I talked to Dorman and he said they are direct oem replacement parts and that we have to use both parts. So I called Moog and they said the same thing even though their page calls them helper springs and a bulletin i found for them says to remove the rubber pads and install the composite pads for the bottom of the springs to ride on. Nothing I have found shows what direction to turn them.
So at this time I think we are just going to replace glue the replacement pads on and go with that unless someone here recommends something different.

Is this about what you're talking about?

Unfortunately, the OP never mentioned the year, or even what the vehicle is? Without that info, all we can is speculate!

Oh my,, I did forget! Its a 1994 Buick Regal Custom with a 3.8L

Thanks for the relies
Yes CathedralCub. it is the rubber pads at the ends of the spring. In the pic you can see the one on the right but the left one may not be there?


Thanks

I found it in annaleigh'* profile.

Yeah, looks like it'* missing in the picture. This is just some picture I've pulled from the internet. I just wanted to get us a picture of what we're working on for reference.
