Boiling it sounds like a great idea but I would put in a call to MGW and make sure they dont think it will be deformed by doing that
I will just be the test dummy for it lol.

I removed the weights from my rear axle last year. Now, I hear rear gear noise. Did you experience the same effect?

Have not driven the car without them yet. I will report today. Ford did put them there for a reason, cancelling out gear noise may have been it.
Thanks for the heads up, did you put them back on and it stopped?

Not yet. When I return from Afghanistan mid May I'll put them back on to compare.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Adjusted my new panhard bar after installing my Hotchkis springs and finished wiring my Hurst Roll Control. I tried to avoid installing the diode but during testing I got TC over-ride and codes even with the system fully shut off. Instructions said "maybe" but it happened on my first test. With the diode in place the problem went away.

Time to get the insurance put back on next week and start having fun.

And I went for a test drive, couldn't get the grin off my face looking at this view.

Drove the car for 15 miles afterwards and no rear gear whine or new noises without axle mounted dumb bells. The season is here, next Saturday Lime Rock Park with 65 Porsches and Pete 8)
