these blocks located below the axle near where the panhard bolts are, i removed them. seems like it will shed a little weight, and make it a little easier to get around under there. is there any reason i should put them back on? doesnt seem like it makes it any quieter.. im assuming they are nvh blocks but i dont know for sure..

 

I think someone talked about them earlier, and it's some sort of vibration dampener. Could be wrong, but if that's what they were talking about, then it's ok to remove it.

 

they are mentioned in taco bill's LCA how-to
yes remove them they are pointless
I did

 

JDM removed mine cause of the relocation brackets, but I really don't see the point of having them either...

Its even in the picture :P

 

how much do they weigh?

 

i would estimate 6-10lbs for both of them

 

I'd heard about these things.. my 07' didn't have them... yet smooth_j's 08' did???? wtf? They only put them on select cars or something?

 

I had them on both sides. Tacobill only had it on his passenger? I removed mine, (have to in order to install the lca reloc brackets)

 

Yeah, never saw them on my car. However, I took mine directly from the car lot to the shop and had full exhaust, LT's, CAI/tune and driveshaft installed so maybe they tossed them for me. dunno...

 

I just put my BMR panhard on and my 05' doesn't have them....Cool, I guess, since you guys are removing them.
