So I got a NRG engine torque damper...and installed it solid on my car, one side mounted to the strut tower plate and the other to the engine mount. However there were 4 ploy bushings that came along with the damper, and I didn't find anywhere to put them. Anyone could let me know what is the use of these bushings?

BTW, I am just curious how much torque I need to apply to the engine mount to tighten it?

Thanks!

 

NVM. Today I uninstalled the damper because I kepting hearing rattling sound coming from the bay while driving, especially when clutch was engaging. So I took it apart and found there were 4 bushings within the structure, which were exactly the same as the ones that came with the package. So I figured they were just for replacement purpose. End of Story.

Plus a pic of my current bay. Will upgrade strut tower bar and coilovers soon.

 

Those are extra bushings. I had a weapon r one with a 2nd set that were harder

 

Yea that was what I figured. Do you experience a rattling sound upon starting the engine?
