    Has anyone replaced just the Coil Spring Isolator? Aftermarket or OEM?. Mine are trashed so I assume that this can make a metal on metal sound on a steep bump.242EFCD4-8A69-41CF-A096-E6FF1E842CB2.jpg

    It's a piece of rubber. I'd imagine that either aftermarket or OEM will work fine and be pretty cheap.

    OEM then. OEM is the best quality 99% of the time when it comes to replacement parts.

    Looking at the diagram, there is no part number for only the rubber isolator. If you want to go OEM you'll need to replace the whole top hat.

    I wouldn't bother......I'd replace the shocks and top hats at that point. You'll be doing it here shortly if you don't just do it now. Save yourself the 2nd round of doing it.

    Is is, so OEM is off the table.
    If you want only the isolator, here you go. Or you can replace it all.

    New bilstein 5100’s have less than 15,000 miles on them... the rubber is shot obviously.. I am guessing that has to make a noise.

    Did you replace the top hats when you put the shocks on? Shocks should be just fine then with only 15k on them.

    unfortunately you'll be removing the shock/spring entirely.
