I was replacing the rear motor mount and removed these to make some room. They are located on the driver's side near the rear mount and are bolted to the frame. What are they and do they need to go back on?

 

lmao!!

 

a hint maybe?

 

Dynamic Beam Isolators. (Vibration Isolators) I have mine removed. Cant tell the difference.

 

Thanks. I'll do the same

 

I would call them ~frame resonance dampeners

 

a real genius here....

 

Are they heavy?

 

yeah i was laughing because of ignorance..because why would a car designer put those in if they werent necessary? to up the cost of the car?? i would think everything on an engine or hoding an engine is a necessity..

 

Because the engineers take shortcuts on designing the engine to SAVE money. So instead of making the engine balance better they add dampeners to absorb the vibrations because dampeners are cheap.

I have mine removed. For weight savings. They are about 8 lbs

 

better to be ignorant and ask questions than to be ignorant and pretend you have knowledge
