Fluidampr uses a small amount of liquid silicone that gets flung to the outside wall of the damper to offset any disturbance. The fluidampr works on the same principle of using golf balls inside your tires to balance your tires instead of external wheel weights. It is not rebuildable.
good info. thanks!
well i learned something today.

having learned what i just did from the above post, that is the question right there.
but i wonder what the weight difference is and if it really makes any difference? i mean when i changed my clutch to a double disc it added some weight, so is a lighter damper really going to help that much? just thinking out loud.
