Stop Those Springs Squeaking!

Can anyone tell me how to stop my springs from squeaking? I once saw something about wrapping them with something but I can't remember any details. Thanks!

Use wire wrap from Radio Shack or other electronics supply store. Half inch spiral wrap in about an 10 inch strip does a fine job

Do you wrap the whole spring or just the ends?

I used simple transparent tubing i found at the plumbing section of Canadian Tire. My suspension is completely noise free.

Yeah, I also used the Radio Shack spiral wrap. Althought I can say you wont hear anything on the outside, I cant say the same for the inside when the music is down
