Rear shock rubber damper weight q.

So I’m still diagnosing this vibration on the old mans 2010 auto.
Noticeable 1600-1900 rpm generally under load
No vibration at low speeds etc

I’ve noticed and assuming would should be installed that the rubber damper weight is missing from the n/s rear shock.

Would this cause a noticeable vibration?

Thanks Current - 2010 HSE Auto All Black

LR wouldn't have fitted the mass damper to the rear struts unless they were required. These are normally fitted to reduce some form of vibration (harmonic oscillation) at certain times in the drive cycle. If there's one missing, then definitely replace it. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Soon to be sold.

Nearly all modern vehicles of any quality have mass dampers installed in key locations. I expect the Fleel2 has half a dozen or more, in key areas of the vehicle, the drive shafts is common place to find them.

The Disco3/4 for instance has 2 enormous (about 25kg each) mass dampers, hanging from the rear chassis rails. Presumably these are there to reduce chassis vibrations. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Soon to be sold.
