Default Engine Dampner for XB, photo's anyone! Please!

Does anyone have photo's of an engine dampner installed on an XB, I have priced these and they are so expensive and I wanted to go another cheaper route. I wanted to know where this would be installed.


Thanks

Thanks, I would really like a picture(s) of the mounting points. This dampner could be done cheaply with a shock kit from a mountain bike, I am not going to pay $150 plus for this.

its like a shock that mounts to your block and to the firewall. its like an extra motor mount that keeps the motor from jerking so the power gets transmitted to the wheels better

The instructions say its adjustable. How do you know when its put on properly? Doing the work seems easy for a DIY project, i just dont want the shock set improperly and blow my engine mounts.

They are not that expensive since the quality is so high on them. And there really isn't a cheaper way to have one. Why would you want to scrip on something that makes a big difference?

Just get some solid steel motor mounts fabricated. That should be fun.
