Can anyone tell if the steering damper does anything when on roads

Xtremeteam:
it damps out the small kick back you get through the steering  :roll:

mmgemini:
Exactly what Mike says.

Mike, A question here.
I've been told that if you fit the heavy duty drag link and track rod there's no need for the steering damper because the HD rods are so heavy they dampen the steering.

what is kick back

mmgemini:
When you hit a pot hole or other object on the road. The wheel kicks at you with no steering damper fitted.
That's why when off tarmac you don't wrap your thumbs/fingers/hands round the steering wheel.
