    Is it a Bilstein dampner that was fitted? There is a very detailed thread regarding similar problems with classic rangies.

    If a steering damper causes a vehicle to veer either way, then regardless of what is said below there is something wrong with the front end, steering, swivels, preload, bushes, bearings. There are untold thousands of 4wd vehicles with steering dampers of all makes and they have no trouble with a steering damper causing the vehicle to run offline. If it's pulling to one side there is something amiss with the front end, if you think not then how do you explain the hundreds of thousands of vehicles that have no problem with steering dampers, Regards Frank.

    Remove the steering damper and go for a drive.
    That will tell you if it's the damper or not.

    Was it pulling before you got this work done?
    I can't see shockers causing the beast to pull.
    Try swaping tyres left to right and see if it changes the direction of pull.

    If the wheels have been aligned a good aligner should have checked for wearing items
