So if I were to hold my bobble upside down in the closed position the hydraulic would slide down on its own. I'm guessing the bobble is shot?


I was thinking of welding a solid bobble with the bottom part and a threaded bolt, anyone else make there own?

 

ive heard of people use a rubber tube and some hose clamps to help solid it up

 

Ya I was also thinking of putting something over the bar like that, but having to weld would give me an excuse to spend 20 bucks on some new weld wire cause I got use some for some other stuff that needs welding. I'm going to the jy in a bit so maybe I'll grab another from there and see what I'll do.

 

you can also just remove the bobble strut.....unless you wanting the much stiffer motor mounts

 

They show up for sale sometimes, after people swap to a semi-solid bobble.

It really depends on what you'd like to do with the car, if you want to launch it well, get a semi-solid bobble from modern. If it's just a economy car to you, get one from a junkyard or leave yours alone.

Well my old car I didn't have a bobble on and the FMM got torn up fast. I hate hearing the engine rock and would be nicer for launches. I removed the FMM polyurethane cause of the vibs, but this was when my idle was like 1500rpm cause of a vac leak so maybe it won't be as bad at normal idle. I need some weld wire for my exhaust so I guess I'll weld the bobble and see how it works out. I'm also going to grab a FMM insert from a neon at the JY which will be nice.
