My spoon engine torque damper keeps coming loose, just seen this pic of Tmus's one. Is this tightened fully, should it be this way or should the orange piece be twisted out of you know what I mean?

Thanks

I havent got the slightest idea how to adjust mine ethier. So i wouldn't mind finding out that.

Anto - What part keeps coming loose?
 
The orange bit when I have it wound out and the orange nut is tightened against the blue piece it keeps coming loose:( Sorry for the bad description lol!
 
To be honest, i havent actually checked mine since i fitted it lol You have made me paranoid now!!

Sorry i can't help you bud, but if you find out how to adjust it let me know :D
 
upon fitting my spoon damper, my mecanic advised me to hve it tight... for it to performe properly. :secret:

mine never comes loose, making whole cabin vibrate loads... tho engine block has no play whatsoever... its static! :nice:
 
Thats what im asking what way is tight lol? Is it the same as the above pic? Can you take a pic of yours man?
 
It quite a fidley thing to adjust, and also you'll also end up scraping some of the paint of the bolts within the process.

You need a Clamp Wrench/spanner and a spanner.

You basically need to loosen the thread to make the damper longer to provide that tightening effect.
I remembered using a spanner on the blue damper tube end where it has the cut out grooves for the spanner to fit. Try twisting this first counter clockwise. Then I think you also have to clamp onto the round grooved nut and twist that as well.

Sorry, I cant remember how I did it and I'm out of town atm, so cant check my car... but try that out. Hopefully you'll work it out during the process. Be warned though... you might end up scraping a bit of the paint off the orange bolts. which is necessary.
 
strange, i've been checking mine and it hasn't moved....


anyway I have the NUT so it is pushed against the Blue damper, and turn the "gripped" washer opposite...its confusing but i find its what makes it tight....
 
anyone ever hear bad thins bout these.the threads on my mates engine mount where tat damper sits pulled an the whole thing is fallin out.coincidence or not.idont know.
 
Good question, I do know there factory adjusted on the softer side if that helps i adjusted mine pertty tight.
 
How do you know if its tight thought or soft? Any pix Chet?
