A coil spring insulator sits between the coil spring and its mounting seat. It helps isolate noise and vibration from the body and keeps the spring from contacting its seat directly. When an insulator wears, cracks or goes missing, you may hear squeaks, creaks or clunks from the front suspension over bumps. If a worn insulator is the cause, this part replaces it.

  • Direct replacement: Dorman designed it to fit and perform like the original equipment on the listed vehicles.
  • Reliable fit: It is precision-engineered to the design and dimensions of the original component.
  • Sturdy construction: It is built to strict standards from sturdy, safe materials.
  • Rigorously tested: Thorough quality-control checks are applied during production.

Installation typically requires removing the coil spring, which is under high tension. Use a proper spring compressor and follow the vehicle service information.
