? about weight under rearend
- Thread starter MIKEC501
- Start date
its there for vibration purposes i removed mine and yes the weight should move and not the bolts cause its isolated by rubber
Just remove it.. pretty much deadweight.

yes I should have while it was up in the air maybe next time. thanks.
It's suppose to take care of harmonic vibrations, but it doesn't seem to work so well, especially on a fixed pumpkin. It may work better on a solid axle, but even that is debatable. I removed mine from both the 03 and from my 98, and have never noticed any difference.
it helps tune the mechanical resonant frequency of the chassis. if you look under a mercedes, they hang weights all over the place. its why they feel so solid.
So ShelbyGuy, Take it off or leave it?
take it off. if you notice a difference, and the difference bothers you, then just put it back on. no biggie.
Ditch it.
I remember hearing that it is tuned specifically for the stock gear ratio. Is that true? or does it not matter which ratio you install?ShelbyGuy said:
