You will need to purchase the damper itself, I used a Land Rover Discovery Series 1 Steering Damper available from Ebay.

The BJshop quotes to use a Discovery 1 damper, the above poster has linked to a Defender damper which is different by having one ring end and one threaded end.
The Discovery 1 damper has threads on both ends.

Richard is correct you need Pins (Threads) at both ends. The one in the ebay advert in the first posting is correct.

I use the Discovery Damper and it is fine.

Very shortly I will be offering complete kits which include the Damper.

A budget kit based on the Discovery Damper

A premium kit based on a Rough Country Damper.

My own opinion is that a Jimny is light enough and has powered steering so does not need a heavy duty damper. Also, due to its position under the front of the car, it is exposed to damage when off-roading so you do not want to spend too much on one.

There are a number of "RTC" dampers around with springs, I feel that if you need one that forces a return to centre then you have problems that need sorting out rather than covering up with a damper.

So,if I understand all :) . The better solution is the discovery kit :) because it is not heavy duty, costs low money and easy to change if you break it during off-roading :laugh: .

If I want to install a procomp or rough country damper, I need big tyres and lift kit... ;)
