So if the holes are already pre-drilled there, it seems like they just "forgot" to install the dampers? Wow! Thanks, Grabber. Wags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03 DSG Snake Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Interesting. Looks like a new version of the old 'Moose Balls'. Don't recall seeing those under mine, looks like more weight to me. Pedal on the right will take care of the whine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Just took mine off do not need the extra weight! They are there for a reason. Here's mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckySnake Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 They are there for a reason. Here's mine. They are installed to absorb "noise" and serve no other mechanical purpose. I can't hear any difference with them off. They are 10 lbs of useless dead weight, IMO. Mine are now stashed away for some purist to reinstall many years from now.

Tob Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 They are there for a reason. This is true. They are there as a band-aid NVH fix. They are calibrated (by weight and location) specifically for the assembly as it left the assembly line. Once you change the axle ratio they (the OE 3.31 assembly ones) are worthless. At that point, by all means, round file them. Tob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
