Steering damper - where to buy?
I need to replace my steering damper in my '03 D2. Tried to look them up on the web, found Old Man Emu/ ARB on Atlantic British for about $80. Is this the right price? Any opinion on that one vs. e.g. Bilstein?

How are you shocks and springs?

Thanks Mike.
I thinkthe shocks and springsare doing pretty well. I have just above 50K on the truck and it looks like it was kept up to date with the maintenance by the previous owner. I know you may say they are probably worn out by now. Is there any particular indication of that - other than the mileage / age of the car? Anything in the way it behaves that could tell me this?
I thought the steering stabilizer is bad because the steering wheel is rather shaky on potholes, when going over train tracks, etc., plus vibrates a little around 50-55mph. On the other hand, didn't notice anything bad with the suspension so far.
Thanks,
Adrian

It is a well know issue that Rover coil springs start to sag allowing the truck to loos height, not carry as much of a load and ride terribly of road. Depending on what you are using the truck for it is just something to keep in mind. You would be amazed at the difference in the ride if and when you do replace them.
Also, if the steering stabilizer is shot is is safe to say the shocks are also.
Take care,
Mike
