Torque strut - damper "home grown"

I installed my torque strut last week.
And now would like to tell you about it.

WOW !!!

What a difference.
No chushy waiting for the motormounts to spring back and forth.
Feels so direct... hit the gas and IT GOES ... LAUNCH

Yes ... you feel some vibration ... BUT I LIKE IT.

I made a new stud for the upper motor mount and fabricated the lower bracket.
Adjust the damper and ... GO

I don't know how to move it

REPOSTED IN PERFPRMANCE MODS
