do you reallty think land rover would waste the money to make and install useless parts just for the hell of it?

it dampens vibration from the diff.

Rip It Off! Ask Questions After!

 

[hafaday]

was told it was some kind of dampner for keeping vibrations from the rear at a minimum,

Many thanks, I'll just leave it there then!!

I think I threw mine away a few months ago...

Hopefully when I graduate. I'm working on my ME undergrad right now. Last time I heard, the ICAR facility wasn't done yet.

 

[joeb1]

You are correct. The facility is not completed yet.

But it is going up pretty fast.
