Frequently asked questions

What does the DC6004 foam cell steering damper do?
The DC6004 steering damper mounts across the steering linkage to absorb shocks and damp oscillation, such as bump steer and wheel shimmy, from the track rod. It's a foam cell (cellular) damper, using a foam insert in place of the nitrogen gas charge to carry more oil for fade resistance.
Which Land Rover does the DC6004 fit?
The DC6004 foam cell steering damper fits the Land Rover Defender (up to 2016), 90 and 110, all engines. It's an aftermarket BritPart uprated replacement for the standard damper. Check your steering linkage mount matches before fitting.
What are the signs a steering damper needs replacing?
A worn steering damper typically shows as wheel wobble or shimmy through the steering, especially over bumps or at speed. On solid-axle Defenders a tired damper can contribute to front-end wobble. Oil leaking from the body is a further sign it's lost its damping.
