So my 96 xj6 is making sounds like the original springs it has need to be changed. I cant really explain the sound but i figured since i put new shocks in it i might as well put new springs as well and with 93000 miles on the original springs i think its time for a change. My question is which springs are the best for these cars for the money?

 

Anyone ever change their springs? i find it hard to believe that no one has! Surely i cant be the first! Lol!!!

 

Squeaky sounds from the (rear) springs are often caused by the upper spring insulator/cushion rubbing. Many recommend coating the upper surface that seats in the metal spring pan that bolts to the chassis with either a silicone grease (that's what I would use) or anti-seize (I would not use this as it contains oils that might damage the plastic spring insulator/cushion).

Springs themselves do not make (noticeable) sounds.

 

I'll be sure to check that. But it sounds like it is coming from the front right spring, what could that be? Would it be the same issue?
