Steering damper changed. 17mm spanner, a 17mm socket and an adjustable to hold the flat end of the damper where you put the two 17mm nuts. 1999 Defender TD5 110

Best place you'll notice a difference is on a non surfaced green lane.

There are a few pot holes on the way from work that when you go over seem to throw the car a little. So that will be my test. 1999 Defender TD5 110

That'd do it, it's just to dampen the feedback from the steering to the wheel.

All the same keep thumbs out as a rule of thumb (pardon the pun) when off roaring.

Me too, even on road.
Surprising what kick you can receive back through the wheel even with a perfect set up.
Depends on speed though. Thumbs Up
