I have included a photo of the springs I have for my 500F.
You can note that it has a plastic sleeve around the last part of the coil. (I have three sets of 'original' coils and they all have this sleeve.)
From what I can work out this sleeve sits at the top of the spring.
Neither the Haynes manual, a Fiat parts catalog that I have or any of the spart parts images I have seen on the web mention or show this sleeve.
My questions are:
Am I correct in guessing the sleeve is at the top of the spring?
Should I try and replace the sleeves I have? (you can see that they have
worn through in a couple of places.
Should I just leave them as they are?
Should I remove the sleeves altogether?
Would the purpose of these be to reduce noise through to the cabin. (The only
flaw in my thought here is that their is a rubber bush at the top of the spring
assembly already)
Your collective thoughts would be appreciated.
(I was going to add the incentive of a reward of a loaf of bread or a free ticket on the Charlotte, but few would get the joke........)
