    I won't use a fluid dampner on anything---besides the balancing issues--down the road a bit---like on a race car--hit the wall or even just touch the wheel to wheel with another car--it will cause the weight to move in the fluid and guarantee a broken crank shaft within 2 weks---------this can also happen from spinning the wheels and getting sudden traction and/or even an overly aggressive downshift-----------
