i have a 1970 nova and im using the dse mono to multi leaf conversion kit. when i installed the kit i have a space between the rear end and the upper locating pad, and when i put the car in gear or drive down the road it makes noise and rattles because its loose. what do i need to do to correct this issue? its on both sides. its like the upper pad needs to be thicker?

Thanks
Brandon

Did the spring not fit into the hole?

Put the same kit on my Nova a little over a year ago without issues, probably best to post a picture.

i called dse and they said that they have had this issue and to use the cushions that came with the kit or have the blocks machined down to the correct size. i thought the 85 bucks it cost it would work :mad: so i just used a cushion that came with the spring kit and it seems to be ok
