Message: <blockquote data-quote="defcon1" data-source="post: 1886136" data-attributes="member: 30064">Update on soundproofing project!My car sprung a leak recently...somewhere at the A-pillar above the AC blower. Damn difficult area to reach. My mech, Lee had to remove the blower, and seal from inside with heavy-duty silicone. The point was unreacheable from the outside, even with the mudguard taken off. Naturally, since the mudguard WAS OFF, I saw the opportunity to try to reduce the front wheel and absorber noises... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1425" alt=":smile:" title="Smile    :smile:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":smile:" />So, I had him take off both mudguards (easy), and applied bitumen flashing strips to the chasis metal under the mudguards (but not the wheelwell as this part was very dirty and I was lazy to clean it properly. My objective was to cut down the shock whenever the car went over a bump or went into a pothole.Results : Shock significantly reduced. Noise effectively dampened, but not insulated, since I didn't put any Insuflex into the mudguards (next weekend's project). The car now feels...very tight, like a sportscar, and it's nice to drive without the extra vibrations imparted by my Hotbits adjustable shocks. I used to run on 29psi up front just to reduce the shock and noise a little, but have since pushed it up to 30 psi, and it stills feels and sounds good... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1425" alt=":smile:" title="Smile    :smile:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":smile:" /></blockquote>
