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.

RTC4472 Steering Damper Kit Defender 90/110 £10.90 inc VAT
DA4160 Steering Damper - De-Carbon - Series/RRC/Disco I £27.02 inc VAT

Both come complete with bushes.
