Anybody know what this thing is?

[tomustang]

so you didn't reinstall your snubber? I was wondering if it could be bolted back in after the weight was removed. I'm gonna play with mine when i drop the gas tank and install the fuel pump.

bolt is too long, you can however strap it on with zip ties or just get a smaller bolt/nut

could someone take a pic of the mot bar(dog bone). Just woundering what it is so i can take it off. Don't want to take off the wrong thing.

no problem

on the axle, and off the axle

It is not usless dead weight as some suggest.
It is tuned to the drive shaft critical frequency and not the gear ratio installed.
If you install shorter gears that means that you will reach that critical frequency at a lower road speed.
By all means remove it if you want to but keep everything on hand just incase you have issues like I did.
my car just about shook it's self apart at 80mph.

Great advice. mine's been off my car for a year now. No issues, but if there had been it'd been right back on.

thanks for all the advice, i'll be sure to let you know if i experience any problems. by the way, any ideas on what size bolts to use to bolt the snubber back on or do i have to measure it myself....

4in bolt, it will not be used because it's too long, like i said in the other post you can just zip tie it if you like or just buy 2 nuts/bolts ( 3/8 thickness) at a hardware store

the bracket and axle where you would put the bolt thru is 5/8ths thick so a 1 1/2in bolt should do fine

didn't realize you were talking about the snubber itself, i never took the snubber off, just the bracket

I need to take mine off I guess since my gears have been changed lol

How about those black plastic triangles located inside my rear wheel wells, any idea what those are???

Those are the wheel well dirt retainers.

I left the Dog Bone on after swapping to 4.10s and I don't have any vibration issues. I have an aluminum D/S also.
