Steering Damper mounts across the steering linkage to absorb shocks and damp oscillation (bump steer and wheel shimmy) fed back through the track rod.

Foam cell (cellular) damper: a cellular foam insert replaces the nitrogen gas charge, allowing around 50% more oil for heat dispersion and resistance to fade. Sintered 18 mm rod, reinforced welded mounts and polyurethane bush.

Frequently asked questions

What does the DC6009 foam cell steering damper do?
The DC6009 steering damper mounts across the steering linkage to absorb shocks and damp oscillation like bump steer and wheel shimmy from the track rod. It's a foam cell (cellular) damper with a sintered 18mm rod, reinforced welded mounts and a polyurethane bush, using a foam insert for fade resistance.
Which Land Rover does the DC6009 fit?
The DC6009 foam cell steering damper fits the Land Rover Discovery 2 (1999-2004), all Td5 and V8 models. It's an aftermarket BritPart uprated replacement for the standard damper. Confirm your linkage mounting matches before fitting.
What are the signs this steering damper needs replacing?
A worn steering damper typically shows as shimmy or wobble through the steering, especially over bumps or at speed. On a Discovery 2 this can feel like the steering wheel shaking. Oil leaking from the body is a further sign it's lost its damping.
