Steering Damper/Stabilizer Install Guide

Degree of Difficulty: 2

Tools & parts needed: 1) Damper/Stabilizer 2) Wrenches and ratchet/socket set

Step 1 There is not much to this one but here we go. To the left you will see a picture before the install.

Step 2  Install the two brackets. One goes on the steering stem and one goes on the left front frame rail. Only hand tighten the bolts at this point. Refer to image 2.

Step 3 Install the damper into place and hand tighten the bolts.

Step 4 Now the hard part. You must make sure that you have clearance for all the new moving parts. Start by tightening all bolts but do not crank them down all the way yet. Once you have them tight, move the steering from lock to lock while inspecting the damper. This took me a few tries to get just right but it is possible.

Step 5 Tighten all bolts and don't forget about the damper bolts where they go into the bracket loops.

Thanks to the guys at Denton Racing for supplying the Steering Damper for this project.
