Quick Question on Steering Dampers
Is it worth spending £100 on an Old Man Emu steering damper, or there lees expensive options just as good or is they a more expensive option which is far superior?, or should I stick to the LR steering damper because they don't make that much difference to the steering feel especially when driving mostly on road.

I have the OME (for bigger wheels and off road) and the LR OE damper is perfectly good IMO Puma 110" SW

Standard wheels standard damper should be fine (not Sh*tpart) big wheels bigger damper OME, Bilstien etc.

don't have any pics
but standard set up in front of axle
and one on the link rod ( between wheels ) behind axle mounted off the diff nose
I found having one fitted behind is much more inline with link and more positive in stopping wheel wobble mainly bump steer

because the front one is at a angle and not inline with front link you lose a bit of dampening effect
