Vibration damper

Sure, as it's the first one I've ever seen on any LR product, and it's not mounted on any rotating parts so I can't see how it would work?

You want to know why??? You can't handle why.

Why is that it changes the resonant frequency of the axle so that the RH spring does not resonate like a lovely guitar when you go around RH curves .

P38A Rangies have them, too. They tend to fall off.

A WTF is that!!!! Guitar that sings on one note LOUDLY.
Before those if the front was up a bit, you could get this incredible vibration noise . The fix then was to push clear plastic tube over the spring, which was difficult but worked.
