Rear Spring Rattle

Hi all,

My BN6 has developed a rattle from the front of the rear springs. With an axle stand keeping the axle in its normal position I can move the front part of the spring up and down - you can see the gap where I have put the screwdriver. The guides seem to be in teh right place and there are no broken leaves. Any thoughts other than new springs?

There is a rubber bushing between the spring steel and that bolt just above the screwdriver. It may have gone bad. You can buy just the bushing.
 
The picture shows the front connection point to the chassis. I may be wrong but there is just a bolt through the spring. Mine just started doing the same thing. Could a pad have fallen out?
 
Looking closer I see there is a bushing, moss 680-960. I'll be taking the spring off tomorrow. Looks like a polyurethane replacement is available. Anyone use that?
