My business is for sale:
I have not found anyone to take over my business. So:
So my plan now is to eventually take my business (mainly just my existing inventory) to Denver. But: I also am not making parts anymore in my shop here. I am also not restocking many items as they run out. You may have noticed some of my parts are out of stock now. That trend will continue. Once in Denver I will continue to sell out my existing stock I have on hand and as I run out of things they become discontinued.
So my advice is buy it now because it may not be available in the future.

A very close reproduction for the OEM GM factory engine damper shock or driveline absorber. The small shock near the oil filter on the 85-87 V-6 Fiero. OEM GM part number is 22046473

This project has taken a long time but I have now have them in stock and they are a very good reproduction of the OEM GM factory engine damper. Also called a driveline absorber.

Note: This engine damper shock has around a 95-5 valving ratio. It is very hard to pull open but closes very easily . That is normal. I have 3 NOS GM dampers on hand and that is how they all are.
Someone asked so I'll add the min and max dimensions:
Compressed is 137 mm and maximum extension is 177 mm. This is center to center on the eyelets.
SHIPPING NOTE:
I do not offer free shipping.
Because I use postal flat rate boxes for heavy orders there is no program that can add the proper amount of shipping to every order. So all shipping is added manually by myself after you place your order. That is explained here: Shipping added later explanation
When you place an order the shipping amount will show $0.00. Soon after you place an order you will receive an email confirmation that shows the amount of shipping that was added to your order.
Shipping:
Shipping is $8.50 (USA) Shipped alone this fits into the new small postal flat rate box!
Final shipping cost is determined by weight of the item(s) and distance from Milwaukee, WI. Shipping prices quoted are for items shipped to the Midwest area in the USA. If you are ordering a single item or multiple items the total shipping price is determined after you place the order. I try to keep my shipping prices to a minimum and use Postal Flat Rate boxes whenever I can utilize them for an order.
