vert fender well weight removal

[toplessmustang]

was anyone with a vert removed the 25lb weight inside the passenger fender well. if so could you tell a difference in the way the car rode or shook.

what weight are you talking about and where exactly is it?

I'd like to know also - the weight is behind the passenger side headlight - you can see it if you're under the car and look behind the bumper.

EDIT: I did a little searching and found a thread about the mysterious weight. KillerCanary says it reduces cowl shake but is a-ok to remove. I may give it a shot next time I'm under the car.

found it. homely lookin piece-o-crap. one end of it is loose and rattling around. Gonna remove it in a couple of days

Yeah there's just a couple of bolts holding it on. They're a little awkward to get to but it's pretty easy. Just make sure your head isn't under it when you take the second one off cause it just kinda falls out. Doesn't hurt anything like others said.

Just yank that bitch right out of there! It really doesn't do anything good that you'll notice. Ford stopped putting them in the 96-98 'verts.

I removed mine. Car never developed any kind of shake or anything. Great way to remove an easy 25lbs.
