Thread: Defender steering damper on Rangie

That's not the case either, they ALL stay in the same place when the swivels are rotated, do you know what the rotated swivels ACTUALLY do

I know it makes it steer and handle better.

Do YOU know what they do?

Actually your correct, its a stir, I was just checking something

Seed of doubt and all that

When they're rotated the front arm or drag link lifts up and the rear arm, or tie rod falls down Due to the knuckle attachements rotateing backwards

But anyway, I'll take some pics of the factory rover mount and my Rangie tomorrow if I remember

Thats better....I accept you appology.


I thought I had it right but you amde me start doubting myself.

Well I worked out how to make the bracket. But I also found another problem which I should have noticed earlier.

I just screwed the Defender drag link end onto my Rangie drag link, but that makes the drag link too long because the Defender one with the bracket is longer than the rangie one. I guess I will have to find a Defender drag link.

Opps i should have mentioned that i had tha same problem tho was an easy fix with the drop saw and the tap if i remeber i think i cut about 30mm off my H/D link and it was all good
