Goldie Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I have been looking underneath the car and have found something that I do nto recognise, nor do I know what it is or what it is called.. I will try to explain.... It is a small 4" round thing, made of metal and maybe 1" thick.. the sterring damper is on the rear part of the axle, and this is localted very close to one end of the steering damper, bolted to the chassis. From the centre of the circle, there is a short piece of wire rope which loops around to the opposite side of the round thing, also into the centre. I can only imagine it is a damper of soem kind, but for what I would not know.. I have fitted a kit to have a new steering damper located at the front side of the dif so the old one at the rear side of the dif is now removed.. Hope someone can help identify Cheers Carl..

disco_al Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 it's a steering vibration damper - commonly found on disco's and rrc's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 It's a harmoinic damper, used to help keep things quieter, think it was only fitted (as new) to disco's. edit: D'OH.... too slowin replying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Ah Ok, thanks for that. I guess the fact that I have moved the damper ahead of the axle, I can remove this harmonic damper...??? If I remove it, will I be able to hear boy bands doing harmonies? LOL.. Joking.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Yep, Took mine off when I relocated the damper and never noticed its absence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
