That's good news JJ
Guys with swift, OEM rubber sleeve should be places on the bottom part of the spring, not on top since the top mount is rubber and will not cause it to creek but the bottom of the spring sits on metal from the front struts.

J, I didn't get a chance to take a picture, can you?

Thanks

Hey Lou, I will take a pic and upload it as soon as I can! May take until tomorrow.

Like Lou said, put the OEM rubber on the bottom part of the front springs. The metal to metal contact can cause some rubbing (creaking noises), but once the rubber is on there it is nice and quiet

Question, are we putting the OEM rubber on just the bottom of the front springs, or are you putting them on both the front and rears? Thanks.

Only the front pair. Your OEM springs should only have the rubber on the front; transfer the rubber to the new springs when installing. Put the rubber on the bottom coil of the Swifts so that it eliminates the metal on metal contact.
