Just wondering if you put stiffer springs, does this cause more squeaks and rattles in the car?

Seems like the TL-S owners are complaining about the noises than the previous years. I know it could be because of mfg changes but I suspect it is due to the stiffer suspension in the TL-S compared to the TL.

This is my concern as well if I ever should think about changing springs.
Any thoughts?

Mods? What mods? I can't afford mods, I'm getting married!!
Vin says 2001, but it's really a 2000 with an upgraded cupholder!!

 

Only stands to reason that stiffer suspension would shake stuff loose over time...

I agree gomez...but I don't think that the suspension systems available for the TL would really mess up the car that much. Not like the tons of crap ones there are out there for other cars (civic, mitsu, etc). Most TL ones are good quality.

I did notice that more rattles came up after I installed the springs.

Stiffer springs would contribute in making sunroof rattles. Mine started after the springs were installed. I belive the road bumps can not be observed well with stiffer springs and it translates into rattles. As for squeaks.. those probably come from the aunti-sway bars. As you make the chasis harder, the body will make squeaking sound as it tries to flex.
