Roman Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hey, I've seen some cars fitted with a tiny shock absorber thing that's mounted between the engine, and the chassis of the car, to basically limit the motor rocking around too much. Anyone got an idea of where you can get these, that dont cost 1 mabillion dollars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 066324.htm Have seen mountain bike rear shocks used in a couple of cars I've stumbled on online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Yeah... would hope to be able to get the suitable sized shock itself, rather than a kit of brackets that I'm gonna throw away! Will look into the MB shocks, cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
