So I have had these Espelirs in for a while. When going over bumps fast or slow the rear springs make a frog like croaking noise. Not very loud but it is getting annoying considering the rest of the car is pretty solid. I was able to duplicate the sound the other day by compressing and releasing the suspension with my knee on the rear bumper. Now I am going to attack this but was hoping to get some tips first. Any ideas?

i had this in the front with my Tein CS. I am having the Tein CS replaced with airrunner and also had the ball joints and inner and outer tie rod ends replaced. If it doesnt go away I will look at the bushings and other things. If it does go away then it was one of those 3. This isnt much help to you though sorry

can i borrow them since they dead and your not needing them anymore?
i know this will sound dumb as it does in my head but does the gs series have "bump stops"? or you could make sure the spring hasnt come "unseated"....if not make sure none of the suspension is rubbing or that your shocks aren't blown
does this make sense or do u understand the gibberish im trying to say?

I apologize but I don't think I am following you. Take the control arm off then lower the car on it suspension? Or do you mean to replace the bushing and then test for the noise again?
