Hi Guys
I've wanted to replace my steering damper for some time now. I asked my Indy about this, as I didn't want to spend a fortune at the stealers for a genuine part, and he suggested doubling up on the steering damper. Apparently he's done this a few times, and it seems to help in compensating for wear in the steering bits. Has anyone tried this? I currently have a new damper fitted on top of the old one, and will replace the old one if I think it's worthwhile. One issue though: I've had to replace a leaky power steering pipe, and the new pipe is slightly out of proportion, so it's rubbing against the top damper. Will try to sort this out though. Here's some pics (excuse the poor cellphone quality and dirty undercarriage!):
