Return to Centre Steering Damper for installation within the steering linkage assembly.

This unit mounts between the axle steering arms and the steering linkage, providing hydraulic damping while an external coil spring applies a centring force to assist the steering in returning to the straight-ahead position. The damper uses a 30mm bore and piston with a 12.5mm double-chromed shaft for smooth, consistent damping action.

Suitable for use on LHD and RHD Defender applications. Fitting to Discovery 1 or Range Rover Classic requires the addition of steering damper relocation kit TF527; fitting to Discovery 2 requires mounting kit TF498.
Vehicle Model Land Rover Defender up to 2016

Frequently asked questions

What is the TF835 return to centre steering damper and what does it do?
The TF835 return to centre steering damper combines hydraulic damping with an external coil spring that applies a centring force, helping the steering return to straight-ahead while also absorbing kickback in the steering linkage.
Which vehicles does the TF835 fit?
The TF835 fits the Land Rover Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic. It suits both LHD and RHD Defender applications.
Do I need extra parts to fit the TF835 to a Discovery 1 or Range Rover Classic?
Yes. Fitting the TF835 to a Discovery 1 or Range Rover Classic requires steering damper relocation kit TF527. On Defender it fits the standard steering damper location without a relocation kit.
How is a return to centre damper different from a standard steering damper?
The return to centre damper adds an external centring spring that a standard steering damper doesn't have, helping self-centre the steering after a turn. A standard damper only absorbs kickback and shimmy.
