Steering Damper

Bulli:
the sj is a fraction longer and comes with all the relevant bits to fasten it....and its the same price as the disco one!lol

stageonesimmo:
Was the new damper 'primed' when it was fitted - i.e. extended/compressed through its travel a few times first?........

I've seen not doing that kill main suspension dampers fairly rapidly, though I suspect it might not be as much of an issue with more modern dampers, it may well not have helped......

I'd hope not, given that modern dampers are self-priming.

Budgie:
The Armstrong damper I got for the Rangie said to prime it in the instructions that came with the damper so some still need doing.
Even with the ProComps on the Disco I primed them before putting them on, only takes another 2 minutes to do.  :wink:

chris.hunt22:
I didn't know you had to prime them, I will have done it anyway as it did seem slack compared with a shock absorber, does anyone know if a standard disco shock absorber will do as I have 4 of them kicking around!!
