garak112 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) I installed a plenum spacer on my Z and when driving experienced a horrendous drone in the cabin, which I traced to the right hand side of the plenum rubbing the strut bar. I played about with adjusting the strut but wasn't able to completely cure it. At this stage it looks like the best option might be to put some washers under the bar mounts (I know some of the kits come with these). Any idea what size and thickness I would need?

KyleR Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 5/16th of an inch thick spacers is what you need, so about 8mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 They should have come with spacers! Surely you can can take a strut brace bolt into a hardware shop and get enough washers to clear the plenum on all the four bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garak112 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Wasso has come to the rescue of my (and the gfs) ears. I was told that if I couldn't stop the droning then I had to take it off. She was upset about doing it because she thought it improved fuel economy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
