ETD rattling

[Nue]

Anyone have experience with the ETD from PG? If so, have any of you heard any rattling that radiates from it? Mine seems to be rattling during low RPM movement but I'm not sure. It was initially loose and I was easily able to duplicate it but now, it only comes sporadically. Just wondering if anyone else has this little issue.

I posted a vid of my rattling situation. Check it out and lemme know if its the same.

Hmm not at all though your car must be fairly noisy anyways as is mine due to mounts + ETD. The sound I'm hearing is more mechanical, as if it's coming from the ETD itself. I can't seem to verify this though.

Just adjust the ends so there is a tiny touch of compression on the item and the rattling will stop.

Eh? There's only one end that I see for the ETD. Unless I'm missing something.

C'mon, man, do I have to walk through every step? You can adjust the threaded end of the ETD and you can move the shaft end a touch, too, to centre the other end so the bolt goes through. Set it a little long and it'll stop rattling.

Hah. Thanks darkstar. After much tinkering and agonizing nights, I've realized that it's, in fact, the bracket mounting the ETD rubbing up against the PMM, causing the rattle. Why people were saying the mount works with the ETD, I have no clue. Goddamn it.
