Well a non-adjustable snubber shouldnt make any noise at all.
There's nothing moving down there to MAKE the noise.
Like I said theres a tiny bit of clearance where the pin slides in and out for easy Slide in and Out Action!

I leave my snubber at about half n inch clearance or 1/4 inch clearance at all times.
Can't remember havnt been under there in a couple months
But if you do leave it as low as I do you WILL hear it on the street.
But I do love the noise it makes when shiftin quickly. I'm just concerned about my floorboard. And if it can take all the abuse
How many times do I have to tell you to quit worrying about the floorboard where the snubber is bolted on???

Ill have to climb under the car and take a picture of mine. It looks like some one beat the crap outta it with a ballpien hammer for hours

I left plates in mine one day after a race and happened to find a really bumpy road on the way home.
