attempting to install the stillen engine damper today. The instructions are kind of unclear and there was no DIY. I searched but couldn't find clear pictures either.

I don't understand where it says to relocate the grounding wire? Can some one show me with pictures which wire has to be relocated where? I have an idea, but want to be 100% sure.

Also, does anyone have a pictures of how the A bracket is installed? This will help also.

Thanks to anyone that can contribute! Thanks.

 

I can try to get some pictures up this evening.

 

that would be great. Thanks for helping.

 

Stillen didn't give you a clear description on the instructions? I remember mind had a good amount of photos, but then again when I popped my hood and looked in and compared to the instructions I was like Fvcccccck that haha

 

there is gonna be 1 bolt holding the groumd wire to the frame rail. fallow that bolt all the way up its gonna split into 2 grond wires. disconnect those 2 and run them both under the radiator hose. put the little ground wire bacj in it original spot and mount the other on top of the gold bracket

 

sorry for the misspelling i just woke up

 

I need pictures if anyone can provide them. Thanks. I'm sorry it still not that clear to me. Thanks.

 

after finding a few pics online, I figured it out. It's a tight squeeze and kind of hard to install, but i got it to work.

I don't feel any vibrations in the cabin, but definately feel a difference in 1st, 2nd, 3rd gears. Feels like there is no car jerking, smoother shifting, and car overall feels very solid.

 

Sorry I never got those pics to you. I couldn't get any that were clear. I'm glad you figured it out though.

 

it's all good. i'm curios though, i installed the damper very tightly. Even though the damper doesn't move at all, it can still "twist" because the ends are adjustable because of the ball head design on each end link. Is that normal?

The part I'm talking about is the part where the screws goes through on each end. It's design so it can be installed in various angles. But once installed, it can still be moved.


Let me know if you need me to clarify.

 

That kind of movement is okay I think. The brace still keeps the engine from moving from side to side.
