well i had my stiffy or torque dampener by ingalls for about 4 months now its starting to leak a little
is this normal
should i be conserned

 

Sounds like you broke a seal, if thats correct and all the oil runs out of it then it wont dampen anything. There is might be a way to replace the seal or just the shock. Gruppe-s is selling their own duplicate version for 80 bucks.

Anyways good luck.

 

wtf ? just send it back

 

that is not normal
see if you can get it replaced with a new one

 

Product failure shouldn't be considered normal, especially after such a short period of time. If you can get a hold of Ingalls (doubtful) i'm sure that they can replace it.

 

mine also is acting up. it is making banging sounds for some reasn. it is still ajusted right and everything. i dont no wtf is going on with it.

 

If you ask me they are a waste of money(tq. dampners). Get a poly bushing instead.

 

Mental note: do not buy ingalls dampener...

 

forge front engine bushing

 

actually the agp front mount is bad *** and its cheap.....

While, I do understand how frustrating it can be when a product fails, I am here to try and help (read: Mod Staff I won't promote product, we don't sell direct to the public, but I just would like to help those currently using our product). My name is Dan, I work for Ingalls Engineering in Louisville, CO I can be reached here, via email at DanJ@IngallsEng.com or by phone 800.641.9795. I understand that your damper is leaking fluid? I say fluid, because our damper works off of rubber damping, not oil. If your damper is leaking oil, fluid, or water I can only think that the body of the damper collected moisture and is now getting rid of it. Therefore, any fluid leaks from our product are not of any real concern.
On to the clicking or popping issue. As the temperture changes the rubber inside the housing contracts and allows for a looser tolerance between the plunger and the rubber supports. Typically after the engine warms up this is resolved on it's own. But, the preload may need to be increased (read: go from 14mm preload to 12mm) to compensate for the climate change. Shoot me an email if you are still experiencing issues after changing the preload.
Thanks,
Dan

 

Wow, someone from ingalls actually made an account just to give suppourt to there product. Ill will have polys and a torque dampner.
