The little rolly things below the crash bar? can i take them off?

 

i think those are to absorbe vibration. they dont spin do they? they just move a lil bit like its rubber?

 

they dont spin, they move just a bit. like ruber. can i take them off?

 

ok. they are coming off.

 

Please dont. I believe those are for the airbag in collision.

 

wait till you see how much they weigh.

 

Yeah they're like 20 lbs, but I can't remember what they are for. Actually I think they are called rollers right?

 

there are no wires or cables on them so i dont think they have anything to do with the air bag. that was my first thought. i took them of and they do wiegh a freekin ton! the holes match up perfect with the stock evoVIII intercooler. sweet.

 

Please do a search this has been covered before and they have nothing to do with the airbags they are for shipping purpose. They only weigh 7lb's each thats 14lb's total.

 

I've had them off for a while now... Had to repaint behind them though. No ill effects from what I've noticed.

 

the official term i got from CAPS was "chassis frame damper", P/N MR521613 and MR956995... still doesn't tell us much about 'em though, haha.

 

like i said, they are to help absorbe vibration

 

they do spin, and i think they are metal and not rubber, i remember thinking "wtf"when i saw them for the first time, too... i can't imagine there would be any noticable difference with the parts on or off though.

 

they are absorber... let em on the car, they deserve to live

 

I think if you rub them you get 3 wishes from the mitsubishi genie, not sure though
