Multiple Questions
 
Since I broke my Rear Sway Bar I've been looking around, but I can't find any. I have contacted a guy who has multiple used parts and I asked him for the fallowing

Rear Rotors (both sides) 15.00 each
Rear Sway Bar 50.00
From Bumper Support Bar 40.00
Rear Springs that are in good condition 15.00 each

delivered to Portland 30.00

Is that even a good deal on used parts? He raised the prices and I told him hell no, but less then a week he said $10 each for the Rotors and $30 for the Rear Support Bar. I added the Rear Springs because mine are to squeaky. I also don't think he will deliver to my actual place, just to bring the parts here to Portland.

Your springs are probably squeaking because of warn out isolators. Getting new springs won't help.

If he told you an original price and then raised them, why didn't you call him out on that?

I did and he ignored me. :( Oh I didn't think of that, my friend said the springs are done because when he went over a speed bump you can hear it like hit really hard. :/ Are isolators cheap and easy to install? You can only hear the noise when the back in hits a tiny bump or anything to make the back go up and down.

ISO or the rubber pieces that go over the part of your springs that may contact with other parts.

Is it easy to do by your self? I've seen what it looks like, they go on the top of the springs right?

Edit: Eww they're blue. :( haha

Just pull the springs out and replace them. I suggest going w/ poly so they don't deform. Also, the squeaking can be your bushings in the control arms.

I'm really not trying to put any money into my car, well not yet, because I'm trying to get something else. All I know is when the back right end like goes down (hitting a bump or something) it will make the noise. My shocks in the back are stiff, it's not like it bounces, just annoying when you're doing 25-30 and you hit the speed bump it hits.

I've never done anything with springs, that's why I was asking.

Just get a stock rear sway bar and sell the car then. Like he said springs don't make noise its either the isolators, which I doubt, or the bushing in the rear on the control arms are bad or need to be lubed.
