Default 2nd needed?

JJA, did the second one make a difference? I just did one and much better, wondering how second worked and is it holding up?

FYI, JJA1234 has not posted since December 2024 and is unlikely to see or respond to your request.
Some folks felt that a second damper did help reduce the noise. Post 78 shows 2 dampers installed, as do some posts after that post.
It is not that hard to install another damper.

Just ordered 4clamps and the 2 dampener.
got a 2014 rx350 that my wife drives now ( I drive LS430 06) and definitely noticed the drone at 1500 rpm kinda crazy. Will update how it turns out. Thanks for the people who found the "fix" for it!
