Anyone running without the differential mount's front weight block?

Any advantages??? Disadvantages.

I know the competion mount doesn't use it.

 

what does the weight block do in the first place?

 

well I am assuming on a street car it dampens the vibration between the mount and the sub frame, but that is why I was asking...

(that and I had to remove one on a diff I was swaping today, just to get that damm diff back up in there)...

 

Well when I get mine I will let you know if it sucks or not lol.

 

I'm running the COMP mount, sorry no help here.

 

did you notice any difference between the comp mount and a regular mount?

 

really can't say. I went from the 4 lug/3.9 stock set-up to a full set of comp mounts and 4.3 w/5 lug. My car is much tighter and more "noisey". not bad but I do notice a difference

 

My N/A doesn't have the weight on it (not sure if it's a comp mount or not) and I can't tell the difference from that and any of my other cars. Guess I just don't have a sensitive enough *** to tell a difference.

 

Yeah, my car being a convertible, noise isn't really a factor.

Of course that might be what the weight is (since it is rubber) a noise suppresion device for the rear end.

 

It's not really a weight block per se - I think that's there if/when the diff mount fails, you have a rubber stopper that's hitting the frame of the car. I think it's also designed if you load the stock mount enough, it will stop its movement.

Anyhow, just transfer the one from the stock mount to the comp mount - that's what I've done in the past. It's generally a Good Thing to have .

I noticed a big difference with the comp mount - really eliminates a lot of drivetrain slop.

Thanks,

I'll try and get those pages scanned today and out to you Dale.
