haha i wouldnt believe everything you hear. it will just mush into nothing and will make your diff oil really rank! maybe it will work better if you drain the oil and fill it with bananas? Na, just jokes dude, i will be interested in hearing what others have to say Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ROFL, yes it's true, it's old skool trick, many old toranas and stuff have had this fix up prior to sale of vechile to hide the nasty wighning noises. lol

If you add one banana skin and it's still noisy add another, and if that doesn't fix it add 3 that should fix it old skool. lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah.. Its bananas' not banana peel... Bananas' are more viscous than diff oil, hence it has what is effectively a 'sound deadening' property It works well enough to stop the noise, but doesnt fix anything... Its bush mechanics at its finest... But really.. dont do it..
