I finally installed a OME Steering Damper (They needed an angle grinder to get the old one off). Here is a pic of the shiny new toy ...

Well for me it was a big change, after 18 year the old one was dead!!! I think you really need one when you change to bigger wheels.

Re: Steering Damper (stabilizer) replacement
I replaced an OEM nissan steering damper (for no reason) with a TJM component about a year and a half ago,(looks much nicer!), and suddenly experienced the "death wobble" late last year only to find that it had packed up after about 12000km. I replaced it with another nissan part, and the problem is gone. I have now replaced all my tyres with new Cooper ST MAXX's and increased the profile to 75 so the tyre is bigger but not wider than the standard 265 tyre - and she runs without a hint of a wobble, or any pulling to the left which I could never rectify before. By the way the TJM has a 3 year warranty so LA Sport is busy replacing it at present so I'll have a spare.

Re: Steering Damper (stabilizer) replacement
What is the price for a new steering damper these days? (OEM, OME, TJM, etc.?)
Any cheaper options like gabriel available/worth considering?
I can get a new OME damper for R1350.
Does all the GU's use the same steering damper?

(nie naby my patrol(s) om te kyk hoe hulle lyk nie, maar ek vermoed hulle is alby pin-to-pin )
