"It's truly astounding what this hardworking and dedicated team has accomplished in such a short period of time, and I want to personally thank each and every person who made it happen," said Ryan Moreau, KPS manager at Bendix's Huntington operation.

Engine vibration dampers are used to reduce torsional vibration on engine crankshafts to prevent shaft failure and reduce noise.

They also play a role in improved fuel economy and drivability while protecting mounts and other components exposed to repeated stress while an engine is running.
