hey, heres a quick question for those running an ingalls stiffy damper-

i just installed it today. when i hit a bump or rough road, it sounds and feels like something is loose and knocking around on the passenger side. i checked everything a couple times for security, and its how it should be. also im running 2 layers of dynamat (one between my strut tower, and the bracket, and one between the bracket and my strut bar), and washers on the drivers side of the strut bar to level it out. i also added some rubber washers to lessen the vibration (which im not really feeling anyways) in the car.

i dont know man. it feels like its working. the car wants to jump forward when shifting at high rpms- more than before. so i guess its working somewhat.

i just dont know if that loose sound im hearing/feeling is normal or not. it just doesnt seem right. could this be the "feel" of the engine that some are experiencing? i mean, its almost like its banging on something...

can anyone who has a stiffy damper chime in with your thoughts? thanks in advance.

check to make sure the nut on top of the strut is tight

yeah, i double checked it all. everything is as it should be.

have you looked at the bottom of the hood, or just around everything in general, to see if there are marks/dents/paint scratches from something hitting it?

Maybe the strut isn't completly seated or blown like mine(drop springs on stock struts with 48k miles=blown a** struts after driving down the crappy roads in Texas)

Would you recommend Stiffy or Weapon R. I found the Weapon R in a 2 damper kit, do you know where the other one goes?
