Just installed some Tein flex's on my Z and they are a bit noisy (as expected and as most tein owners notice) It is related to the rear pillowball mounts.

I want to know if its possible to remove the upper mounts on the rear and swap them out for the OEM rubber ones?

Trying to figure out if this is possible before I take the rear suspension out.

Thanks

I'll bump this once hoping somebody knows.

Up you go.

 

i can't comment on the teins, but i have done it with two other sets of coilovers.

one required a step bit and a cutoff wheel, the other pretty much bolted right on.

i don't recommend this as a permanant solution though. i did it as a temp while i removed the bearings and filled the mounts with urethane and a sleeve type bushing--like the oe rubber uses. this was a last resort as i could not find anyone locally that could find me the odd ball metric spherical bearings the pillow mounts used.

 

Thanks for the reply!
