Installation Instructions for 93052
Ingalls Engineering Stiffy ™ Engine Torque Damper for 1997-2002 Jeep Wrangler 2.5L-I4
The Stiffy ™ Adjustable Engine Torque Damper is engineered to reduce deflection under hard acceleration and cornering for
improved performance and power to weight transfer. Deflection in the motor mounts, as with the chassis and suspension, is a
formidable enemy in power and weight transfer, robbing valuable horsepower and control. The innovative, built-in damper eliminates
the huge amounts of “torque shock” that result from wheel-hop and once installed; transfers more power to the road and improves
acceleration, shifting, and overall control and balance. The adjustable feature allows the assembly to be tuned and pre-loaded for
performance and street applications.
CAUTION: Observe proper safety and repair procedures for installation of all chassis parts. Some chassis parts require
specialized tools and experience and therefore MUST be installed by a qualified technician; otherwise and unsafe vehicle and/or
personal injury could result. Wear safety glasses and other protection.
WARNING: Before beginning, check for any damaged or loose suspension connections. Loose connections here indicate worn
or broken parts which MUST BE REPLACED. Failure to replace a damaged or worn spindle and/or link may cause the wheel to
separate from the vehicle, possibly resulting in serious personal injury. Installer MUST check for proper clearance. Modification(s)
may be required. Please proceed ONLY if the vehicle owner is completely aware of these potential suspension modifications.
Estimated Installation Time: One Hour Technical Rating: Easy
Included Parts List: Required Tools for Installation:
1 - Stiffy ™ Engine Torque Damper Metric Sockets

Step 1: Under the hood, locate and remove the air filter box top, filter and box bottom by removing the 3 bolts that
secure the box to the right side fender. Remove the right front shock and turn the wheels all the way to the left for
access to the right side shock tower.
Step 2: If your vehicle does NOT have air conditioning, install the Engine Mount Bracket above the alternator using
the four, supplied M8 flanged head bolts. FIGURE 1. If your vehicle is equipped with air conditioning, loosen the
accessory drive belt and remove the 4 bolts holding the compressor in place. Lift the compressor enough to slide the
Engine Mount Bracket underneath. Reinstall the compressor using the OEM bolts with the new bracket sandwiched
between the compressor and the A/C-alternator bracket. Tighten compressor bolts & retighten drive belt.

Step 3: Find the oval hole on the right front shock tower near the top. A splash seal should cover the engine side of
the hole. Cut a slot in the splash shield about 1 ½” wide to about 2” below the oval hole with a knife.
