Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!It just suppresses some of the steering input that comes from the wheels sooner than the steering wheel, and stops wheel wobble a bit when you hit small bumps with hooj offset rims. steering just works like normal as the damper is kinda extended/contracted relatively slowly, but the quicker jerks from the wheels are reduced.
Landcruisers and patrols have them as standard. Check out the index thread below where pics/reviews from all our past meets can be found!!!!

Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!Like your dampers on a boot of a standard hatch back I guess.

Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!Steering dampers were standard fit on range rovers, connected to a lug under the pinion flange and a welded bracket on the track rod. Some defenders had them too only they were connected to the drag link and a bracket bolted to the chassis.

Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!Being a total sucker for punishment I decided to change my glow plugs this afternoon in the spare hour before hometime.
Finished at 8 oclock. What a pain in the bum, They were so badly gunged up with carbon I had to leaver them out with a bar, All done now though and she seems to start alot better. Another job off the list. Light travels faster than sound.This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
