Greetings Drivers,
I was wondering wether the 4Trak was built with a steering damper (1998 F73). And if not, wether one could be added, how, and if it would improve/protect steering and related components. Specially since I am running bigger tyres than the original specs and I know my Power Steering Box is a lil abused.
Any views, comments, appreciated.
can you see one?

That's it?
That's it? That's all the insight I get? "Can you see one"?
If I'd see one, I wouldn't have asked. However, I reckon there is a forum thread mentioning the presence of one. Don't know if maybe there are some versions that had them, or not. Or if it's been modded before. And if it has, is it worth it?
Still want to ask me if I see one?
well....if you cant 'see one'
well....if you cant 'see one' how do you know what they are?

Thanks
Thanks Parrot.
Not running such big tyres as you. By "protect" I meant to say "go easy" on my steering box. Since I know that the moment bigger tyres are fitted, the steering box is bound to suffer more wear.
Ok, no versions of the 4Trak came fitted with one. So it would have to be modded. If you do add one, would you be interested in documenting the work? Anyhow, thanks.
Now, I can't see the moth.. fu... per se but I know what he is.

yea,i aways show how i have made bits and fitting them but i post it all in my build thread here

imo it wont help the steering box as it will stiffen up the steering a bit so will add abit more stress to the steering box.
i have had 33's then 35's and now 37's on my trak for almost 1.5 years now and the steering box is fine,i had to adjust it when i first got the trak but its been fine after that
as far as i know the f73 and
as far as i know the f73 and f78 never come with a steering damper.
what size tyres are you running??
you could fit a steering damper but you would need to make up brackets to fit one,im thinking of fitting one on my f78 as im now running 37" tyres and get some steering shake but most of that is coming from a warn steering idler metal insert so im going to sort that out first and then if i still have the shake i will fit the steering damper.
if you fit a steering damper it will not protect anything on there,they are there to dampen down wheel shake
I belive you can bye a
I belive you can bye a generic after market damper from places like Millner Conversions. This comes with bolt on brackets to fit many 4x4's.
Any veiws expresed in this thread by me are purely from my own experience, and (sometimes) falible memory. Hope my comments help, but please don't take them as gospel.

I have a leafed 4trak and belive i have one although i am not sure how well it is working because i get shakes and off road the wheel can spin quickly if i catch a rock.
can you get replacements?
yes
