Saw your County at the mechanic in Katoomba just before Christmas.

Was getting a tune before we shot off for Xmas ... :)

If the front end is set-up correctly a live axle LR will drive perfectly without one. Pat

Are you suggesting that it's just another aftermarket sell point Pat.
wouldn't you be missing an bit without the damper?

They are factory fitted, but they are for controlling kickback when a front wheel hits an obstacle, not for correcting wheel wobble / shimmy.

I was wondering if that has ever been done was all obviously they are fitted from scratch ta but

I've been getting these death wobbles in my 95 Disco without resolve despite multiple mechanics and tyre fitters.

Hadn't looked in the Defender section before... is it fair to assume given their similarities - it might be the same issue?

Have replaced steering dampener (no better) and replaced bearings

Basically same front end design used for RRC, Disco I and Defender/County.

Do a search on swivel preloads.
