Worth upgrading JB74 steering dampener (?) after damage was created by GreyJimny
Hi there,
This week we hit a big pothole (or branch) and bent the dampener (?) and steering tie rod end (?) on my JB74. See photos. While I can replace with a new dampener, is it worth paying extra to upgrade to a heavier duty one?
The car is stock standard, but I have M/T tyres I will periodically fit for some trips. Occasional moderate 4x4 driving.

Can't give advise on the damper, but if you have alway been happy with the std one for your terrain and driving then why?
But got to ask, how big was the hole and how fast were you going to bend those?
