2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Corris Grey

I looked at Hank’s video, and you can’t argue with the logic. I chased up on this on Google, oil vs gas, and on forums on the other side of the pond there is a lot of chat about the gas-drift effect. General consensus is to either add a second, to counteract the push, accept the drift or remove it and replace with oil. Given we don’t have the space under the axel of a F350, doubling up would be out of the question. So i think i might stay OE for the time being.

With regard to Fox, they do do a damper (they call it a stabilizer with a ‘zee’) but not for Defs. However, they have multiple versions so i wonder if one of the Wrangler or other cars has the same length as that of the Def that could allow a fit?

But why?? What would you be hoping to gain (apart from a matching colour)? Darren

Not me LRA, for others. Just ‘putting it out there’. Public service, if you will. I’m sticking with stock for the time being....

2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 HT Corris Grey

When I spoke to Alive with regard to replacing my dampers I was going the bilstein route including the steering damper, however after an informative conversation with them I opted for the Fox ones, then said what about a steering damper? They said do you need to change it, I said I don’t have any problems just want to improve it? The original is a good component that is perfectly suitable was the reply so I have stuck with the orginal
