Rancho dont need to be raced to fade - unfortunately...
Even a leisurely drive can fade them quickly.

And they never come back.

Damn it

i had a tough dog rtc damper on my defender for 22 months and was great however it has just stuffed up and locks up in the middle of its travel.

all tough dog products come with a 2 year warranty however the don't want to cover my damper. not happy at all! won't buy tough dog again!

if i have to buy a new one i will probably get a terrafirma rtc damper. cheep enough and i have dealt with this sight before and is really good.

Terrafirma RTC return to centre Steering Damper - Defender Fitment Only

good luck with your rancho damper!

Thanks for all the feedback guys.

Mids , I'll check if Terrafirma do one for a County

I am just about to fit 4 x new Bilsteins and the two existing ones fitted to rear are Monroes.

I might just fit one of those old rear ones

My terrafirma trc dampener last 1500km and leaked, not happy, leaving next day for the dog fence all could get was another ???? Sofas so good this one has lasted longer,

The two best places to buy proper shocks is:
Filthy Motorsports | Off-Road Parts and Accessories
eCommerce Website Design - eCommerce Web Development - Retail/B2B/Automotive - San Diego, CA

At 290 bucks a shock they smash any other bolt in shock or dampener on the market that is bolt in

Thanks tuffrangie I shal keep an eye on these but dealing with america is just so difficult same with any of these UK landrover companies I never get a response from them I wanted some rose joint trailing arms from QT but they just like the shock companies never respond

I put an OEM aka Boge damper on my County a few weeks ago. It also cost around $165 but I can't find the receipt to confirm price. Feels very good!

Having an LSD in the front means return to centre is quick anyway
