I lowered my xB and now I noticed I get a rattle from what seems to be the springs? Anyone else have this happen and if so how do i get rid of it?

which springs. the back ones especially have to be put in right. there is a notch where the end of the springs go. it is very important that the spring and that rubber piece is inserted right both for rattles and for safety reasons.

Did you first check to see that it's not the crowbar or jack handle rattling in the spare tire storage area?

Eric,
That is what I thought but I couldnt seem to see the notch they sat into so I doubt there in there right then. Randi you gonna be around tonight...HAHA. I will try to jack it up tonight and see if I can find what your talking about and see if that works. Thank you Eric. If not I will just bring it over saturday so we can bag it. I saw your car last night looks damm nice in person I like the dance floor in the back.

I got a weird rattle also, but i figured out it was my rear bumper being loose.

haha. i think fixing the coil will be much easier than bagging it. trust me on that one. the dance floor was just something i was bringing home from my girlfriend's house in santa barbara. we had a little DDR session. she's getting pretty good. i don't usually carry that around in my car. :)

Sorry man it looked like it was like a flush mount speaker box, damm tinted windows. Well I will try to fix it and see what happens. Its the drivers rear so your probably right on that one.
