RRS 2006 Front Body Mount Damper

I have just removed my front body mount damper but not yet install the mass absorber yet. Does anyone know if it's worth installing the mass absorber as well or should I not bother? I think removing the mount damper has help with the knock. Has anyone removed their front body mount damper as well and what do they think?

RR has issued many technical bulletin to remove it.

SSM39112
Models: LS - Range Rover Sport
Title: Straight Ahead Knock - Vehicles With Dynamic Response.
Last Modified: 30-OCT-2008 18:02
Category: Chassis
Symptom: 304000 Suspension System

Issue: Low speed knock noise from suspension, on vehicles with dynamic response.

Cause: Front body mount dampers, have been shown to be an important route for this noise. Recent testing has shown that vehicles fitted with dynamic response do not require front body mount dampers. Rear body mount dampers must still be fitted.

Action: Bulletin LTB00123 has now been updated to include the removal of the front body mount dampers if required. Please follow the bulletin and submit an EPQR if the vehicle shows no recognizable change in the noise volume and is percieved unaccepatable to the customer following removal of the dampers.

LTB00241 issued 29 October 2009 concerning installation of mass absorbers in place of front body mount dampers is strictly for vehicles with Dynamic Response VIN- range : 983118 Onwards. Does this apply to you? If it does not you could try driving without them and if its comfortable, why not?

LTB00123v4 refers to vehicles which do not have Dynamic Response fitted. Malaysia Boleh!
