Replacing Springs

[deanos70]

Before i go ripping my old springs front and rear out to replace them
wondering if the people that have done it have had to replace the spring pads or spring insulation bushes, before i rip it all out and find i cant get the parts on a weekend

is it common for them to wear out, its on a v6 v6 wagon live axle rear end

cheers guys

but im not too sure if its diffrent with IRS

hi smelty

thanks for the reply mate
if its a common thing to wear out i will replace it no worries just dont want to get stuck without the parts on a weekend
ive rang the local holden dealer and all the auto shops in the area and they dont have them in stock

might pop the rear springs off and have a look 1st as they are easier to do

thanks

i just put new rubber shock covers and new top strut bearings when i did my front springs and both my shocks were fine and it still rides real smooth even though its sitting on ssl's
