[QUOTE="john11gt, post: 14360740, member: 150071"] I installed a Steeda UCA with the stock mount this weekend and when I took it for a drive afterwards I noticed some pretty bad gear whine between 60-80 mph. There is a faint whine below that speed but not real bad but at about 60 it gets loud, like you cant NOT hear it. Around 70 its still pretty loud but the tone changes and it doesnt seem as bad, at 80 it gets obnoxiously loud, I can have the music turned way up and still hear it. The pinion angle is set to about 1-1.5 and there isnt any vibrations when Im driving, its just the really loud gear whine. I do have the trunk stripped and the back seats stay out of the car so Im sure thats not helping but its so loud I dont think it would make [I]that[/I] much of a difference. I was thinking about getting some rubber washers and putting them between the UCA mount and the body to absorb some of the vibrations, would this be a bad idea? [/QUOTE]
