Steering Damper

[Alterastro]

I've now got my steering damper fitted and I thought I'd let you guys in on my thoughts...

Overall much less steering judder, especially on rough tracks. So smooth in fact that I'd even risk putting my thumbs through the steering wheel ( - No, thats not a good thing to do, but you get the idea!). There is a pothole in my road and before I had the damper, if I hit it, the steering wheel used to jerk and you could really feel it. Now, you cant feel it throught the steering, just your butt 

Supposedly It cuts down on steering wear and tear, but I can't really comment on that but I can understand how it would help.

Bad points: None really. The guy that fitted it said it was bugger, but nothing is easy these days is it? Overall though, I'm impressed 

Cheers

[Alterastro]

Hmmm... trouble is you can't see nuffink unless I remove the sump guard and I bu**ered if I'm gonna do that  . You're welcome to pop round with yyour socket set and camera though Tim

So 4 bolts is just too much trouble for the betterment of your fellow members then ?   

I'll do it Tuesday mate 

[ANDREW]

Hid them well eh? 

[Chastiser]

just how does this item fit? is it something that can be fitted by an amateur? are there any special tools or brackets etc needed?

Very easy so I'm told

Just have to fix on 2 brackets and the dampener fits between these

I will sort some pics on Tuesday 

[Alterastro]

Yeah, two U brackets - one bolts to the Axle and one to the steering rod with the damper in between. Not sure why it was a bugger to fit, but Tim'll find out on Tuesday
