They said they applied grease to them to lessen the impact and reduce the noise. My concern is, should the springs be doing that? To me, grease seems like a temporary fix since it could get washed away with rain water etc.

What do you guys think?
And yours definitely had the black rubber covers on the top coils? That sounds like a temporary fix for sure, and I hope this isn't a common thing and that you can get it addressed if it comes back.
