Came across this question (and link) in another forum - thought I'd ask it here ... Anyone ever used a steering damper on a Grand Vitara? http://www.toughdogdealer.com.au/Vitara.htm My initial reaction was there's no where to fit it, and it's not necessary - but looking at the link TD claim it fits 88~02 - so where does it go, and is it necessary? I can't think of a reason to fit it on an IFS vehicle. |

NFI. Maybe helpful on non power steer? Once I fitted ps to my Sierra, I never needed a damper. My Vit is fine without one, and its lifted. I would thing power steering fluid is it's own damper? |

Calmini offer a damper for the vitara. No idea about a GV though. Being rack and pinion, surely it's super redundant? Steve. |

As per steve's comment. Its totally un-needed on a vitara. |

X2. A steering damper won't help stop the wheel doing a sudden 180 degrees when you hit something hard enough! |
