every time I install new ones I am surprised by the toning down of vibrations felt.

Think about the abuse those little cheap bastards suffer !! Lots of heat and constant vibrations, o wonder they break down so fast. Good thing Mother does not charge too much for them.

 

now that was humorous as hell..good stuff

 

Well, my one cent was not enough as it still squeaked a little on the way home. I attribute it to warmer weather in the afternoon than the early morning when I go to work. I'm going to give my second cent a chance now and see what shakes. I'll report back again tomorrow and hopefully it fixes it.

WD 40 works for a short time and makes a mess. I replace the right side twice a year and carry spares. Two bucks each is a cheap fix. I split my pipe right at the Y and I think that grommet was the cause.
As soon as the squeak starts I change it right away.

 

So if it starts squeaking again, you'll put in another two pennys to take up that slack also? That could get expensive in a few hundred years!!

 

I've used a very good quality zip tie.

 

Well we'll see what happens tomorrow. Put in a second penny. The left bag I could not even get a penny in as the mount was still super tight. So Dawg, any experience with the high priced goodies?

 

I use rubber washers for a temp fix.

 

I got tired of replacing the rubber pieces and a few months later they would start squeaking again. I finally took a metal hose clamp and cinched it down tight around the grommet. No more squeak,no vibration and it's been like that for going on two years now.
