[s-cars] [V8] Koni creak

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Hmm.  Front end, eh?  My bad.

Did you have those plastic sleeves over the coil springs on those H&Rs?
I've heard that the springs actually make noise.  No experience with H&R's
though.  I doubt the shocks would make any noise.  I'd certainly replace the
control arm bushings and antiroll bar bushings when doing the strut inserts
anyway.  It's funny how much the rest of the suspension feels once the
struts/springs are renewed....
