    Steering damper

    Anyone recommend a good mob to approach about a steering damper that is out of the ordinary?

    I will be looking for one to suit the set up on my series ii

    It will need to be a bush at one end and threaded rod at the other...

    Could you just find an appropriate length pin to pin damper then fab up an eyelet and threaded end?

    If you gave me the thread size and required eyelet size I would happily make the eyelet rod end for you inc

    Steering dampers were a rarely fitted accessory on Series 2 (became common by late 2a, pretty much standard for S3, apparently to look like Toyotas), and are not necessary unless you are doing really hard offroad.

    I have operated Series Landrovers both with and without, and in most conditions you can't tell the difference. Specifically, they are not fitted to prevent shimmy or wobble - if you have this, you need to fix what is causing it. The steering damper is fitted only to reduce the chance of driver injury when you hit a stump or rock hard with one wheel.
