Hello all
I have just replaced my rear rear springs on the NS Pajero after one broke!!! I have done a straight swop (King Springs). I noticed that the lower insulators were in a pretty bad state but pressed ahead in any case. I am now getting the occasional "clunk" from the rear end and I was wondering whether I should have replaced the flogged out insulators? I am assuming they prevent metal to metal contact, but some people say they only prevent road noise and are not essential. Has anyone had the same issues?
I broke the spring when I jacked up the car off the rear diff support to replace the back breaks - I assumed as they had done over 200,000 kms I should not have been surprised that they broke!! In replacing the springs I followed the various instructions posted on the forum, which was great. Other than perhaps replacing the rear insulators, is there anything else I should be looking out for?
Kind regards, Paul
