[Shop-talk] coil spring isolators

[Brad Kahler]

I'm having the springs replaced because they were shot and while 
removing the springs the spring isolator pads disintegrated.  I've been 
searching for days trying to find replacement front coil spring 
isolators for our 1974  Chevy P30 chassis motorhome. 

The coil springs are 5-3/8 OD x 3-3/4 ID.  I tried several parts stores 
and they didn't have a clue.  I've tried one of the better suspension 
shops here and they told me to go to the Chevy dealer as they are a 
dealer only item.  I've called the Chevy dealer and they told me the 
parts were no longer available.  They couldn't even give me a part 
number.    

So, would anyone have an idea or suggestion as to where I can find these 
things?  I hate to put things back together with metal to metal contact.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Brad
