Steering protector - any body used these

<< < (4/5) > >>

davidlandy:
steering guards and hd steering bars - get both as they do very different things.

andrew2986:
Have to say after my last miss-hap thats what I was thinking, my steering guard has quite a few good bashes on it. so was going to relocate the damper and fit "dan style" bars or if funds allow " HD rods.

Will moving it change the way it dampens, will I notice any difference? cheers.  Ben

mobi:
if anyone wants to keep the steering in the same place, then turn it around so that the gas/oil end is behind the diff.
as standard the oil/gas end is out in the open and when that gets just a small dent it can make the steering go like [zb].
when its around the other way the diff will give it "some" protection. (i'm not saying it is the best way, but it's better than nothing)
just another point that if you have driven a disco without a damper the wobble can be a nightmare but with the hd steeering bars it does take some (but not all) of the wobble away.

crazymac:
Ben, you'll notice no difference to the steering at all, its a simple solution to getting the damper damaged.

Mobi, I fitted Sumo bars to mine but waited a couple of months to refit the damper/damper relocation kit and I must say that it was a nightmare :shock: Every bump, especially on a bend, and I really had to hold on :shocked:

So i would definately say that a damper is needed regardless.
