There is probably about a 2% chance I will do actually do anything like this. Just trying to learn something.
Last night, while searching for a part number on Rock Auto, I came across their listing for a steering damper. It’s a Gabriel, shock style thing, and it said it’s for vehicles that already have the mounting setup. A search for that mounting setup came up empty, but it took me down a rabbit hole reading about folks who are using dampers on their old straight axle hot rods. Quite a few are using some kind of VW style damper, other fabbed up their own. Looks like the VW damper is widely available, and might be the basis for “universal” dampers that vendors like Speedway are selling. And you can find all kinds of beefier kits for various applications.
Anyone running one of these on their straight axle Stovebolt? I understand the alleged advantages, just curious if anyone experienced any steering feel/bump steer imrpovements in the real world.
