Hi all,

Wife to be in 30 days! hates driving Jambo :angry: No suprise with how high it is and the 33's!! hopefully ive just done a deal with one of the boys on here for some standard wheels with Colways on so I can save the BAJA's for off roading. Does anyone have a ARB they would sell cheap so I can that put back on?? Don't want to be selling Jambo already until ive had my fun in it.

Any other advice? Steering damper perhaps?? Its how it wanders all over the road she hates.

Thanks everyone

Id recommend fitting a steering damper, it will make a massive difference.

This is the best in my opinion, it attaches to the axle, then to the rear steering arm, not the front steering arm like most.

I can send you fitting instructions/pictures if you PM me an e-mail address.

I only do the budget bracket, you can then buy a cheap Disco damper from ebay for a few pounds or an expensive damper if you wish
