Josh Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hello, Just fitted a steering damper relocation kit to my disco (putting the damper in front of the axle like a defender) and im wanting to purchase a new gas damper to fit. I dont know whether to fit a disco or defender damper. Whats the difference between the disco and defender dampers or can i fit either? They are listed as different part numbers so im assuming they arent the same. Also, any suggestions to which make of gas damper to go for, there seems to be alot of choice! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipx2 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Here are the steering dampers for Defender (top) and Discovery (bottom). You can see the main difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Thanks cipx2, The main difference is very apparent! So i guess that i will need the disco damper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers There's no choice there are none with gas it' s not required for steering, unlike dampers for the suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
