Old Man Emu OMESD24 Steering Damper

This cleaned up my steering A LOT! I had a death wobble at 60mph previous to install on my Toyota Land Cruiser LJ78 and that went away just with this! It's a cheap upgrade that is almost always necessary on old Land Cruisers/JDM Import Trucks. I paired this with the full ARB/OME lift kit and I was very pleased with the outcome.

So far the dampener seems like a good product. It was a direct bolt up in my lifted HDJ81. It came with all of the mounting hardware necessary to install. No issues yet. We will see how long it lasts.

This replaced an undersized steering damper on my 1997 Lexus LX450. The truck has 3" of lift and 35" tires on it and they were literally pulling me all over the road; it was a nightmare to drive over 45mph. Any rut in the road or imperfection and the tires would turn the wheel. This product made it a totally different vehicle.The product is way beefier than what was on it, and appears to have stainless hardware with lock nuts.Install was pretty straight forward, only 2 nuts to take off, and directions were included. However, due to the place this lives under the vehicle, and the fact that I'm in the northeast, the old damper was rusted in place. Start soaking those nuts now if you're going to change it.I used PB blaster for a few days and they were still really stuck. I mixed 50% ATF and 50% acetone (read it online), soaked it overnight, and the parts came loose the next day with way less grief. That will be my go to penetrant from now on.Hope this review was helpful....My 1994 Land Cruiser 80 series also has Old Man Emu lift kit/steering damper, and from the looks of it, its been on there a while, and it still drives like a dream. Old Man Emu for the win.
