#29872, "RE: Rubbing the halfshafts vibration damper on the end of the sway bar" In response to In response to 0 Oct-15-06 05:31 PM by Star Turbo Talon
Josh this happened to me when i installed the Stillen bar 3 years ago. I couldnt find anyone that had the same issue. Since then i have done a little research to find out the dampner was only used in many 95/96 shafts. 97 the dampner was removed. Aftermarket replacements didnt seem to have one either.
Remove it Josh. As you know the shaft will come out of the CV. the spline has a cir-clip on the inside much like the clip on the splines that fit into the Diff. Cut the bands and slide it off. Re-assemble.
Or just do a cross sectional cut with a whiz-wheel.
