i think we,re talking about the harmonic damper on the front axle tim its the big heavy round thing on the drivers side, it gets in the way with some of the underbody protection stuff thats on offer so some people bin them

--- Quote from: "TimM" ---Are we talking here about the steering damper?

Mine is shot (big hole in it so lost all fluid), and I have vibration - is fitting a new damper likely to cure it, or are we talking here about something different?

Well, I was talking about the harmonic mass damper, but if your steering damper is shot then that's very likely to cause the vibration problems;  easy to replace though.

Thanks, I'll consider myself educated now   :D

Sorry to butt in  :wink:

I bought a De-carbon Damper from Paddocks about 3 months ago, it appears to only work in compression not sure if this is right.  Went to take it off last night and totally naquered it as i was unable to undo the Nyloc's.

Bought a Boge one today to get car running and this seems to work in compression and tension (Both ways in and out).  Not sure which is right but the Boge one makes more sense and would appear to have all the correct Bushes Washers etc.  :?
