We'll after tonight or tomorrow I'll be Bona Fide as a Porsche Owner..... I'll have completed my First of hopefully very few Flex Damper Replacements. The Part I have is used, low miles, good condition, date stamp 1992. I took the precaution of soaking it in Marvel Mystery Oil prior to installation. Dad was a PhD Chemist with a speciality in Rubber Chemicals. Plastics & Rubber lose elasticity over time due to UV's, Oxidation and Evaporation, liberally applying certain oils (that soak into the rubber) will increase life. If the damper holds out a year I'll be happy, 5 years ecstatic. I wish someone would make one out of Polyurethane instead of rubber. If I have to do it again the car's getting switched to a 5 speed.
