Steering Dampner

Post by hudson44 »

Thinking about putting a "universal" steering dampner on my Paj to stop the steering wheel knocking around on rough surfaces. Who is running one and did it seem to solve this issue? Does anyone have a part number of one they used? Can you buy a Universal one in a kit or do you use one from another vehicle and make it fit?

Cheers

Gabe

Are you sure you need one? I'm running 33's and have never noticed a problem. Perhaps your rims have the wrong offset?

They're standard rims. No play in the steering linkages. She's just a pit "rough" through the wheel when wheelin!

I fitted one from a late 90's Hilux and it works a treat on rutted up hill tracks. Just made up my own drag link bracket and bolted the other end to the existing mount. Three years so far and no dramas. ;)

I think the bracket is 5mm plate with the same for the brace. I used the supplied bolt for the other end.

I noticed enough difference to keep the wife happy anyway. She doesn't do a lot of wheeling but now it behaves better off road, she's a lot keener to have a drive now and then. :cool:

Happy Wife = More Toys!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
