Sierra steering arm dampener bracket
Sierra steering arm dampener bracket
hey all,
Yesterday during some awesome wheeling I managed to break the bracket that attached the steering arm to the dampener.
I want to know if they can be purchased from Suzuki (or after market but I doubt it), and hjow it could have broken?
It is up pretty high, so I don't know that anything could have hit it - I have SPOA, plus OTT steering - Since fitting the OTT kit, I have noticed that I have tighter steering now, I wonder if the dampener was too short and ripped the bracket apart...
Anyway, thanks for whatever help is forthcoming.
BTW Zigzag railway rocks!

My guess is it's a combination of the RTC steering damper and the dropped pitman arm forcing it to twist.
No, the OTT steering kit won't be making any difference- that's downstream of the damper.
PS RTC dampers bring the suckage - now we can possibly add another downside to the list including being responsible for global warming, the Howard government and the price of fuel.

A steering system that doesn't need a damper is better again But Yes, I think a functioning, stock damper is better than an RTC damper, but doublyespecially in your case as I think part of the issue is your dropped arm is trying to twist the RTC damper (which the spring is fighting) as you are steering, loading up the bracket.
