Default My MMW Damper is weird

well i had helped adjusting it at a local shopped and showed them the instruction and it worked out good. but almost weeks from then it started making weird sounds. it sounds bad when idle and getting out of gears. but now it sounds even more bad. everytime i drive up to or pass 3rpm a little i get this annoying rattling sound anyone know why?

Its because mmw sucks. The product is junk, I had the same problem and I live down the street from their shop. When I brought it in he said it needed to be rebuilt and adjusted, well considering it was only on my car from the garage to his shop I couldn't imagine how a "quality" product would already be faulty and with no warranty...

they service with warranty is really bad they offer this so call limited lifetime warranty. so what ever happens to the products its still up to them if the really want to do anything about it or not. LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY that is ridiculous.

If you need technical help please dont hesitate to call. We are here and welcome to answer you technical problems. Also if you do a search there are some guys with the Ingalls Damper brackets bending upwards from the force of the motor. We went through the same and have fixed all problems with the damper.

I will be calling you this week, we have spoken before(Guillermo), I'm having the same problem, the brackets seem to be ok, I think the shock might have crapped out, whats your policy for replacing the shock? thank you.
