The ones I've seen were just were just bad damper work. Also tight damper guide holes and underlevers. What I saw was not intentional, just laziness or incompetence. I would make a call and get the system working as good as it can as warranty work. Good luck.

A local guy here said that they do this on purpose, but I can't figure out why. You can stop the bleeding by needling, kind of, but what is the fix, besides completely re-bending the damper wires to set them straight? They are all over the place as to leaning in the bushings, some this way, and some that. Clark Sprague Detroit-Windsor Associate Member
