I don't doubt that at all. What I don't understand is (from the
instructions I read online) how this thing even makes a difference?

What is its function? I thought that perhaps it was some polyeurothane that
simply shields the vibration of the engine from the body or something, but
it's not wedged in anywhere. What the heck does this thing do-- and why is
it better than what was there?

Confused,
