Just installed the springs

So heads up. If you buy this link at Amazon, it's 6 springs per package and it says 1. So only buy 1 package and not 2 like me.

HAHAHA I did the same thing. I gave the others away at a meet.

Hillman spring (543183) worked for the wastegate rattle with zero issues so far. I also had a bad interior rattle, got worse when I came to a stop while in gear. I found that the exhaust was touching a cross member where the resonators are. Fixed that and now the interior rattles are gone.

My exhaust is touching that same damn place. The exhaust seems like it's not able to be adjusted. It's AWE. It only happens when the truck is warm and at a stop in drive. The fvcking truck. Ugh

If you have the AWE resonators check to make sure they were installed the right way, they have a bend in them to keep them just above that cross member, if they aren’t positioned right, like mine were they will rub and cause that vibration

So how are you guys getting these springs on? I just took a peek at my driver side - no way I can do it without removing the wheel. Too much labor RN

it’s a bit tricky but look carefully at the pictures, gloves might save your hands on the fender liner but definitely don’t remove the wheel, if I did it anybody can!
