Which steering damper

Hi,
Have decided to fit a steering damper to my jimny, its now running on general grabber AT 2's, 205 75 15's on offset steel rims, unless its because i haven't got used to it yet, compared with the standard bridgestones the steering feels a bit vague ? Been looking at dampers and there's a few on the market at differant prices, I wondered what preferances other users have ?

Thanks

Jerry

It will take time to get used to it bit you will
A damper will help i made my on set up bu it depends on how deep your pocket is

Get the bracket from the Big Jimny shop and the landrover disco 1 damper off E bay.

do land rover ones fit then?? i do need a new one and this makes it cheaper as from my land rover days i have a big parts bin

Yes mate they do fit, lv'e got one fitted on my jimny and it works fine.

I fitted the Offroad Armoury bracket to an existing ProComp ES2000 shock I had. The kit is a little pricey (£38 I think or about £90 if you want a damper too) but bloody hell it's one solid piece of kit, no chance of the bracket getting damaged as quite a few are flimsy and bend after a short while off roading.

Thanks for the replies, I was looking at , off road armoury, or trailmaster, ... i suppose they both do the same job

Thanks

hi Jerry

getting back to your comment ....

now running on general grabber AT2's, 205 75 15's on offset steel rims, unless its because i haven't got used to it yet, compared with the standard Bridgestones the steering feels a bit vague ?

I think there maybe something not quite right here ...

I switched from Bridgestones to grabbers with 32mm spacers, which is basically the same as yours' with offsets on and the "feel" of the steering was transformed .... for the better, it was instantly more feel, more grip and more smiles. .................. what tyre pressures are you using, jack up each wheel and rock it at 12.00/6.00 and 9.00/3.00 o'clock and note what happens, how much tread have the tyres got etc ........ something's wrong

Thanks for the link , darthloachie

Hi Halford
I don't think there's anything wrong, only had them on a couple of day's and not got used to the difference, Perhaps ' vague ' was the wrong word, The tread depth is plenty, in fact they're almost new, I'm running them at 30 psi , not sure if this is correct ? got a very slight wheel wobble between 35 and 40, but I'm assuming this is a balancing issue as there was no wobble what so ever with the original Bridgestones on, The ride is a lot better though, I'm planning a few mod's, a mild lift, trimmed bumpers etc, and have read some good things about the virtue's of fitting a steering damper, will post some pics in due course,

Thanks

Jerry
