I emailed Bill about a week ago and no response. I will send a PM right now. But my paypal account was charged for this item so I am just trying to figure out what is going on? Can somebody give me some feed back?

 

There should be some washers in the kit to make sure there is no movement, but the "rattle" you are getting is the damper twisting at certain rpm's and tapping the mounts. It's part of the design, these need to be able to move, and I haven't seen a way to get rid of it.

Lee, thanks again for fixing my damper!! Drove the piss out of it at the BBQ and all the way home. I just checked it and its as solid as the day you fixed it!! Drove my Accent today and really missed driving the tib. 02.gif LOL! May have to take it to work tomorrow and enjoy it before it snows here!

 

n/p man. truthfully seeing the time you invested in your ride and other people have while Erika and I was at ABQ has really given me a good shot in the arm.

Mine is not related to that. It would seem that the bearing sleeve is too big for the bearing. There is a slight tapping audible from the engine bay, but the metal on metal contact is loud from inside the car when it's near it's zero pressure point. I've adjusted it to the point where the zero pressure point is only when I'm reversing, but it's still loud. I can deal with a clunk every once in a while while shifting. That's ok. I understand the thing rotates on the bearings. This is a design flaw from the manufacturer though. It should not be rattling around.

I'm going to need a new bearing/adapter assembly.

 

since i have to wait for the damper brakets, i would like to change the color of the damper from blue to titanium. i emailed bhurlin already, im posting it here just in case he misses my email.

 

FYI,

brackets were sent out yesterday to NRG, 20 sets. tracking number was given to Steve at NRG .
