Steering damper on a Series

<< < (2/4) > >>

Litch:
I fitted one to my S111 SWB when I upgraded to 9.00x16's.
The bracket was already on the chassis (OE fit) but I had to buy a new tube. It was only the standard oil-filled damper but it worked fine.

blackbob:
why do u need one
if your getting steering judder check your joints and for any free play in axle joints and dont over inflate your front tyres no more that 25 psi

CanIBeFrank:
Thanks for all the advice guys.

The reason I need one is to stop the steering wandering all over the road at speed, slow speeds fine.

It's just come from it's MOT the spanner jockey said that the best option was a sterring damper, he had one on his.

I'm open to advice, I'm running 31.10.50R15 Technic Tracker 2 MT which are obviously quite big, never had the same issue with my 750x16 (no I wont change back to sort it smart arse :) before you start)

Cheers

If the steering is wandering all over the place, then check the swivel preloads.  They're what set the majority of the wheel turn resistance when the vehicle is in motion.

EDIT:  I assume you mean the steering is very light and every bump forces the steering wheel to turn quite a bit?

Or are you talking about play in the steering?  If it is play over 1-2 inches then check all the joints in the steering linkages.

Hi Steel,

The steering gets light and follows the road but actually steers very well i.e. not loose to turn before effecting the direction.
