Thanks.
Fluid dampers are bad news. I know of several BBF's that have had bearing problems from using them. They work fine at a steady state, but during acceleration, the fluid can't do it's job. Don't know anyone that has used a rattler.

In my experience, stock style elastomer dampers work just fine. I use them on all my builds. No bearing problems, and more durable than anything else available.
