WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[MrTom]

Stops your steering from being slammed to the side quickly mate helps maintain a straighter line and prevents tramlining (your tyres following grooves in the road surface)

[gregster]

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.

[MrTom]

Like your dampers on a boot of a standard hatch back I guess.
I fit a steering damper to every motorcycle I own as you can get what's called a "tank slapper"
Which = brown adrenalin

[Alfie]

Learn somthing every day Are they common on fronties then?

[MrTom]

I didn't even know they came as standard on normal road vehicles mate!
I'm learning too.

[gregster]

Not common on fronties Alfie, I gotta feeling Yaki's has got one but I might be wrong...

[gregster]

There you go...one of my old FJ60 landcruisers, if you look at the end of the yella arrow you will see the steering damper

[Fatbaz]

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.

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.

[glynn969]

oil and filter changed , tow ball replaced with recovery hitch and electrics repositioned to stop off road damage

also bled the clutch ( looks like the first time since the truck was new ) what a difference !!!
