lol yes but it's very straight forward stuff you will need a pencil
1,stand the damper on some wood/carpet/steel toe cap boot(this is to protect the end)
push down on it till it stops draw a line
2,pull it apart as far as it goes draw a line
3,measure the distance between the 2 lines put a mark at this point
4,push damper back in till it gets to the mark draw a line
and thats it ready to bolt on :)

I can take some photos of mine fitted in the morning as you have the same if needed, however fitting it is easy.
Bolt on the large hanger mount to the chassis, two bolts, only fits in one place.
Push the damper full in and then fully out, mark these two travel points on the damper and then find the middle between these two marks. Set the damper in the middle of the stroke, ^^^as Jack said.
Fit the (now centered) damper to the chassis mount and the other supplied mount to the steering arm and damper. Do this with the vehicle wheels pointing straight ahead.
Check that at full lock in each direction that the damper does not exceed or hit the out two outer travel points you first marked on the damper. If they dont all is good, check everything is tight and enjoy your new steering damper.

Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)
