steering damper or return to center

Post by zookjedi »

what are peoples first hand experiences with steering damper compared to the return to centre style ?
how much harder is the turning force needed to turn , as i run a standard steering box on a welded front diff with 31's at about 8-10psi ?

what i want it for is to stop the steering wheel spinning out of control when i hit certain obstacles (at slow speed ) and to reduce bump steer on the road

any particular down falls etc oh its on a spoa with standard springs narrow track

cheers Jai
if its worth doing do it intensly , better still do it with MADPASSION

I find mine dosen't kick out of my hands at all on road now since I junked the steering stabiliser.

After driving my bro's stocky I prefer the way mine drives, perhaps its the extra offset on the rims i dunno.

The only real way your going to reduce that effect is powa steering ..
I have run both kinds and found the RTC one better, but neither were super effective at keeping the steering wheel being jerked around a bit offroad.. Bascially the bigger the rubber the worse it will happen.
