At any rate, I have no reference point but at idle this thing vibrates a lot, more than I would expect. I've run it with the fan removed, same thing. Off idle it's not bad but it does vibrate a good deal at idle.
Comments....things to check...someone give me some feedback on this thing.
Thanks

* Is the shock old/damaged/chattering?
NOTE: This part has been superseded four times due to chatter, MB# 6042000214

Use Loctite 24205 Threadlocker Medium on the bolt threads..
