Title: steering damper .... I am confused!!
Post by: bobtailed disco on April 12, 2012, 13:11:00: Hi all
Just taken delivery of a Delphi de carbon steering damper (listed on box as a Bearmach BA2247) but it isn't acting as i would expect, as soon as i took the band off it extended out all the way just like a shock. Won't this make it stear one way? or is this how the gas ones are?
cheers Rob
