This is debatable.......................
Basically only very early Gen 1 Paj's without power steering had factory fitted steering dampers.
On my Gen 2 lwb 3.0 V6 I had the chassis bracket for a steering damper so it would have needed the mount on the draglink (easily done).
The only thing is you would need an eye mount at both ends so the damper could pivot. The reason I say this is if you lift the front the chassis bracket and drag link don't line up anymore (the draglink rises with the torsion bar crank).
A few of the Yanks have added steering dampers (Rancho bolt on kits) but the results weren't really worth it (so they said).
