Steering

Hi

We have from what i can tell is a Terrafirma steering damper on our Puma Defender- if we were to replace it with a standard one would we have lighter steering? We have STT-pro tyres which i assume don't help.

Thanks

You could remove the current damper, and drive and test the Defender and see if it makes a difference. If it does not, then most likely, a standard steering damper will not make a difference either. If the rest of the steering system (swivels, ball joints, box itself) are in good condition, the damper is not really needed.

Have you driven any other Defender to compare? 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing
