POS Weapon R Engine Dampner

The ****ing thing snapped on me. I was driving aorund and i noticed the my car has been jumpy lately. I thought that it was the heat so didnt think anything about it. Then one time i got on it and everything was fine until i started taking some turns in town. I was hearing this rattling noise and I got scared. Popped my hood to find that the engine dampner was leaning to the side. I wondered how the hell it got bent until i looked at the support to find it was cracked completely.

Can this be replaced or do i have to buy another one?

Thank god i dont have cam gears on.

maybe if you send them the fugged bracket that will sufice.

i would imagine they would honor that, what more proof is there that you had one than a broken part

Yep they redesign it. Did you notice a difference in shifting and engine movement after the engine damper??

i thought it worked quite well actually

i didnt notice any more vibration in the car. The car didn't buck and bounce nearly as much with it on.

for the small increase in cost, the Stillway is the way to go honestly....it is MUCH stronger and is an actual damper

I am laughing so hard at anyone who buys this. How about doing something real instead like solid motor mounts if you are concerned :P
