Steering Dampner

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

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.

Thanks Greggo, Kind of get the idea. To be honest, i've been slack and havn't even poked my head under to suss out what to do. You definately noticed a difference when off the black stuff tho?

Cheers Gabe

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:
