the shrink wrap keeps deteriorating on my coil and causing notchiness, is there any other reason for this being there other than to make them quiet? in other words if i remove it will it cause me any problems other than deafness

I thought it was just to stop rattling.

I recently got a new spring for mine which did not come shrink wrapped like the broken one it replaced and I don't hear it.

good enough for me thanks... was concerned it might cause wear on inner stantion but cant see that wrap doing much to stop that anyway i guess

Is this a 44 or 55? I was wondering if there would be much noise if left un wrapped.

I have a 44 and have tried slightly thicker wrap but there's so little room for anything other than the spring that it created a bit of stiction so contacted windwave and got some of the original stuff, which lasts 2 minutes.

ive finished servicing them, (55's) and left the wrap off. there is a little noise but not worth bothering over. i find as soon as the wrap breaks up it causes stction and notchiness

Small increase in noise when I removed it on my 44s
