QT diff guard. What is this ?

I fitted my new diff guard tonight. I could not put the big heavy ring roller thing back on afterwards. Would not fit on !! Dont understand what is purpose is ? Is it a guard or some kind of counterballance ? :whoosh:

It's a vibration damper.

yeah they are total ****e dont worry about it mate! they're supposed to make a difference at motoway speeds but i never noticed when i took it off me rangey!

Cool. OK. Drove to work on the Motorway this morning and didnt notice any vibration. Thought it might be some kind of damper / absorber. Ill leave it off then. Thanks for the advice.

How are you getting on with those tyres???

Pretty good thanks. They are definately better than what we had before. Look mean as well. My mate got a set for his 90 after seeing mine. He got slightly larger tho. I tried his ones on and we would have had no chance fitting them on.

I will do a lift at some point this year and trim out the arches in preperation for slightly larger though.

Cheers for all your advice.

fitted my qt diff guard just ground away a bit of the edge of the diff guard to get the vibration damper to fit back on

took about 2 mins to grind some away

I did exactly that after driving and getting a vibe at about 120 kph, refitted the damper with the 'adjustment' and all is well.

This vibration problem does not affect all cars despite the specs being the same.
