Frame weight on driver side?

[fj40z]

Ive known for years about the passenger side frame weight but on our '07 it's on the drivers side. Anybody else have there's on the driver side?

Sell it as a scrap yard and take anything you can get.

4 Year old thread, I am aware.
But I just took the steps off my LX470 (2007) and discovered the weight on the drivers side.
What does it do and is it necessary?

It supposed to minimize the exhaust booming at idle, it does work, when i took mine off i got more drone in the cabin at idle. Sucks that it happens right at 600rpm, if you can idle at 650 it's completely silent. When i have the AC running, it idles at 675 and i don't hear anything, but at normal idle there's a slight drone.

I just searched and discovered that this has been discussed numerous times in this forum. Thank you for your answer.

It's even in the FAQ.

Yep, that's where I found it.

What you're telling me is if I line both frame rails with these I can enter silent mode?

I started to have this droning in my LC100 and found the frame weight rubber was broken. I removed it and it got better, but I'm repairing it and will install it soon. Result update later.

Wow. You may be the first person in the history of ever to actually REPAIR one of those! Props to you.

 

[Eyo]

Its installed back and I have to say it didn't make much of a difference. When I removed it it reduced the droning, but installed I can't tell the difference. The "repair" gluing it back together may have made it to stiff. Anyway its good enough now.

I ran the number on the bushing on the TPD site and it came up with the full damper @ $306, any chance someone reads this and knows if the rubber parts are available new for less $?
