A steering damper is a shock absorber mounted between the axle and steering linkage. It lessens the amount of vibrations felt in the steering wheel.
A steering damper serves the same purpose as a shock absorber. Dennis
No, the damper is just a shock absorber.
1952 chevy truck does not have a steering damper, where and how to mount steering damper on my 1952 chevy truck .thanks jim
The 1995 s10 blazer may have a damper. The damper will look like a shock connected to the steering assembly. You can look under the front end to see for sure.
Same device different name.
You can not that truck has rack and pinion steering.
That is the steering damper.
Check steering damper shock, tie rods, trac bar, wheel bearings, etc.Check steering damper shock, tie rods, trac bar, wheel bearings, etc.
some cars yes (like 4 drive)
Possibly your wheels need to be aligned or your tires need to be balanced. REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPER
All steering linkages have either a "U" joint to align the Steering Colum to the steering box or rack OR They have a noise and vibration damper made of rubber and cloth like a tire side wall. Either of these components can fail and cause the symptom you describe.
AKA, crank pulley damper, crankshaft damper, torsional damper, or vibration damper.
