Rear Subframe Dampers - Necessary?

[Radiation Joe]

I've noticed that every video I've seen of the rear subframe never shows these dampers that are on mine. Any issues with removing them? They're relatively heavy, mounted in soft rubber. I've got the Steeda subframe support system already installed, so I don't think these dampers are doing anything but adding weight at this point.

I'm thinking those things could be specific to an EB with manual transmission, and I imagine that they'd only be there to suppress particular vibration frequencies.

You will hear whining and clunking. I suggest getting poly inserts to test out if you like the feel before going with solid mounts.

I have a manual 5.0 PP1 and have those bushings too.

I have a 2019 Bullitt and had one on the passenger side rear diff bolt. Did not reuse it when I installed the diff bushing lock outs. After install I have clunking in the rear. Been wondering if reinstalling the damper would help. Also not sure if it can be used with lock outs.
