What's this?

Postby spinna » Fri Jul 21, 2017 9:41 am

I swapped rear axle on my t330 09 plate and this was bolted to it. Is it some sort of balance weight?. I haven't fitted it to replacement axle as yet.Image

That looks a lot like a vibration damper to me.
I think the theory is that the outboard suspended part vibrates in "harmonic opposite" to the part it's attached to. (i.e. - 180 degrees different in frequency) thus cancelling out some or all the vibrations. I've always had doubts about how effective this is. Hope that helps.
