Iv got a jimny power steering box to fit to my nt suzuki Sierra does any one know wich steering dampen to use, for example a Sierra 1 or a jimny 1 has any 1got any experience in this?
And has any one used a return to centre damper with power steer also?

[pezz]

return to centers just hide problems

the stock arm on the jimny box doesn't have the provision for a dampener,
thats a good enough excuse for me not to run a dampener
in saying that, im not into high speed off road driving


i much prefer no dampener

[KEENSY85]

Don't u need one by law, and they come on jimny as well don't they?

[Trypt]

RTC may hide problems to a certain extent but they certainly are worth it especially going from lock to centre

[pezz]

i imagine the jimny if fitted with one from new, but my jimny pitman arm doesnt have the provisiond for it, id guess it mounts off the draglink...

If we all followed the rules we would all be pimpin on 205's

Not from my memory, my jimny didn't ever have one

[appsie]

i had a vitara box with a jimny pitman arm in my sierra as did mr green. we made clamp setups around the pitman arm to mount the dampener then back to the factory location. reason i really done it was that i had a near new OME hd steer damper and my rig had the shakes,once i solved the shakes tho i would of been happy to run with out it.

if you want one make it fit,if not dont stress

Mmm I'm not sure what to do I'll be have to think about this one

X2.... Jimnys don't have them from stock. However most dampers are advertised to do both sierras and Jimnys... Whether that's the case or not, I don't know

I put a steering dampener on after power steering and it did nothing. So they don't add anything special if it already drives fine I suppose :/.

Thanks jazzor

When I put the PS in my Sierra I left it off, it didnt need it anymore.

Actually, if I had wanted to run one it would have been more work as I did a Full RUF rebuilding the front of the chassis so I could move the diff and steering box forward much more without the links binding. I would have had to make a mount for it on the new crossmember.

Thanks guys iv decided not use a damper as u guys say it doesn't seem to be of any benefit I am this situation,thank u all for all ur replies

I ran vit ps in my old swb, Didn't need a damper. If you have wobbles. Something is wrong. Mine used to get wobbles. I knew it was loose wheel bearings every time.

Coilys don't have one
Jimnys don't have one

[atari4x4]

Vitara's don't have one
