Hi All
Just noticed my (what I assume is ) steering damper hanging down from its
off side fixing!!!!
It looks simple to replace but what could have caused it to shear off, I
haven't been off road in it since I bought it last year (yes sad I know).
Is there anything I need to know before I replace it?
How much is a replacement? Will it need new bushes?
Regards All
Tom

I'd hazard a guess that the bushes have been shot for some time and
the resulting metal-to-metal contact has worn through something.
Assuming the brackets are ok, fitting is a doddle.
