Quick Engine Shock Question
 

Are the engine shocks supposed to be like a regular shock absorber where they are fully extended normally, or like a steering damper where it can be at any position at rest and just has has resistance to movement? I pulled one side because of a bad mount, and found that it acted like a steering dampener, and just wanted to be sure that it is ok.

I have found that even brand new ones act like that, in which they do not rebound to full extension. So calling them a vibration dampener is probably appropriate.

I did find, however, that my old ones were much easier to move in and out than the new ones. So what you're looking for is an engine shock that takes some effort to move in and out.

The engine shocks are not gas charged, so they do not extend automatically. Neither do "regular" shock absorbers if they are not gas charged.

Damper.

Perfect, Guys. Thanks for the help. Now I need to look into how others have made their own upper rubber shock mounts as one side is shot, and the other is definitely not too far behind.
