Steering stabilizer bar

It might be worth dropping them an email to see if they have it in stock or have to get it from Oz. I didn't, but it would have been a good idea.
Took a while but received yesterday. Will wait until new front prop is fitted before fitting the TD.

I emailed them and was told 6 weeks or more wait. Boo. In the meantime look forward to hearing of your feedback.

Yes that's what mine took - plus £60 odd in taxes and UPS clearance fee. Have set to no.4 based on others experience and look forward to having a go.
 
For a few dollars more than the tough dog, Eibach have a damper as well.
Ignition (Brisbane dealer) said there’s lots of discussion on them (flavour of the month his words). Not adjustable by the look.
Anyone have feedback??
Cheers

Setting 5 works best for me on the Tough Dog steering damper, there is a big difference between setting 4 and 5, about the equivalent of setting 2 to 4, from my testing setting 6 is similar to factory.

Thank you. Will try them both and compare. 👍
 
I bought it from Myoverlandshop in Spain. €200 plus another £50 Farage fee.
It took about 3 weeks including the usual UPS farce.
Did the Tough Dog Steering Damper fit straight out of the box, plug and play or did you need any fabrication to get it to work?

Play around with the adjustment to suit the conditions, too soft and you'll have the death wobbles, I found the best wat to gauge this is if your steering wheel does a slight "stick shake" like in aeroplanes on uneven surfaces tighten it up a little.

It’s interesting that you raise that old chestnut death wobble. A while back it seemed like every week or so we got a death wobble report and predictions of carnage on the highways, but they have largely stopped. Has something changed in the US, have dealers stopped using the fixed rate Fox stabilizer or has it been improved? Or is everyone using the variable rate Fox unit now?

I’m still using the fixed Fox stabilizer that Agile released at the beginning - absolutely no issues.
