RTC steering damper

Post by justinshere »

Hey does nyone wanna help me with this...

I have a RTC steering damper on my hilux at the moment but the spring got hung up on rocks now its rooted!
Im unsure wether to get another one or just get a normal steering damper, rancho or something...
How do they weigh up RTC vs Normal Damper..... i run 35" muddies soon to be 38s...

Thanks

If you want to run just a dampener just get rid of the spring, no probs. the spring will just assist keeping the steering straight, definately a benifit with big tyres. What vehicle and do you have power steer.

Its a 91 Lux with power steer. I didnt think of removing the spring, so it'll work the same as a normal damper...
Thanks

Shouldn't be a problem, you should be able to get the spring as a spare

RTC damper has less hyd force than a standard damper, and hardly worth the cost or effort.

Monroe make one for 35" + tyres, which is 80% stiffer than standard, and works well on patrols and cruisers, just doesnt "look" like its worth millions, and Ridepro have some good steering damper rates as well. :lol:
