Only advice I can give is to make sure that it is in fact the springs rattling. Im sure you know these are a much stiffer than stock so you may hear some things moving around that you didnt hear before. Seems like once I drove around on them for a while they settled down. Especially once i pulled the first big load with them. Hope this helps.

sounds like you have weak springs , you could replace the springs with stock or overload springs or install shocks that have helper springs on them.

I have noticed ,the base rattles when the seat isn't attached when I don't have the car seat on the base inside the car and I am driving around with my older kids and the baby isn't in the car. My husband installed the base so I'm not sure if it rattled like you say yours is doing.

they worked well for a time and then the spring mechanism failed, I think it was a while ago. check out RAM Mounting X grips

I have had no problems with mine. Sounds like you have a vibration problem. Excess vibration can destroy anything. A rubber mount might help or a different mounting location where there is less vibration. Hope this helps.

Hello G - my wrench does rattle, due to some of the linkage parts inside. There's alot going on inside, compared to a standard wrench. You should still test it to make sure everything works OK.

Daniel,Mine is a 99. I got a bad pair, one is longer than the other. I did not notice for a few days, after I discarded the original springs. I notified Marty at Dorman and basically told me tough *** . I cant send them back and be without my vehicle. The springs were just as week or weaker than the original pair with 230,000 miles on them. I am going to have to buy another pair(from other than Dorman) and eat the 250.00 I have in these. Amazon did not respond to me, Dorman said it is Amazon's problem.Had to drive it tracking to the left which ruined the new BFG all terain tires I had put on at the same time.

I don't have a rattle. I still love mine and it just screwed on with no plumbers tape. And no leaks.

I like the springs but be sure to oil them properly to keep the noise down.

Yes, I have been very pleased with them. If you decide to purchase, I recommend applying " lock tite" to the threads, I had one vibrate loose and lost it on the freeway.

Mine has never made any rattling noise. I do not think it is normal. I would have it checked out.

New shocks? Not nessesery unless your old shocks are busted...or you just want new ones..one were fine...new front and rear sway bars will be the next purchase..highly recomenend coil spring compresser...not a bad install went with 265/70/17 nittos looks great..had to get 5/16" spacers and trim A boltup front..

Did you install them correctly? Is the piston rod on top? Make sure...maybe the barrel end is rubbing on the car body.

I haven't experienced that. I have them connected to a pre-amp with treble and bass controls, and while the bass is excellent when cranked up, they don't rattle at all. The speakers are on the same level as a vinyl record player, which is a bookshelf loaded with records. No issues with vibrations at all.
