worth buying and using? or waste of money?
They work pretty good with stock leaf springs
Destroyed the rubber on mine twice with stock springs. I'm waiting to see what happens with the new setup and SS springs. It is probably more an issue with the contact area on the body now. It is a bit caved in. No poll answer really nails it.
mguner, weld a piece of flat plate to the floorpan at the contact area to both reinforce and strenghten the contact area and to distribute the load.
Good use, holding a shop door open for a breeze.
Exactly ^^^^^^^^
Finally, somebody got it right.
All kidding aside, they can work in certain circumstances. But they are not necessary in any circumstance.
For instance, with SS springs, they are not necessary.
If you have crappy stock springs, then the snubber might be a cheap band aid if you do not want to spring for SS springs.
Used to be the old saying was automatic without a snubber and four speed with one, but even with SS springs, I don't think the snubber will add a lot even with a four speed. I have run with and without them but always ran SS springs and never saw an appreciable difference. In fact, one car I had sped up when I removed it.
I never herd this before, but aways open to other ways and opinions.
