Steering damper/stabilizer?

907mge · 03-28-2011, 11:20 PM

Magauto.com has it. I just searched "damper" and found it. But it is $158 and lists for $219. It does list as being the same part from 86 to 92 though so maybe you can try a used one.

Thanks a lot, that site is awesome. I can only find one at a time, not a pair. But oh well. I found some spacers that is suppose to give more steering angle, does anybody already have these on their suspension????????????????????????????????!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you talking about wheel spacers? Most people don't buy them for the purpose of changing the steering dynamics... just to fit larger tires or correct for a bad offset.

There is only one damper on the non-progressive power steering rack and the progressive racks do not have one at all.

The item description said it increases steering angle. Is that just for offset?

Are you searching in the section for oem toyota parts?

Yea i guess they are for extreme offset, but I don't know why they put increased steering angle. I thought it was for drifting or something.

If we are talking about the same thing; Spacers will affect the offset of the wheel which in turn may affect all aspects of the front suspension and steering (depending on whether the spacer just made up for the wrong offset on a new set of wheels or if it was added to wheels which were already the correct offset). I've never seen them marketed as a solution for changing the steering geometry... more that that's considered a side effect (often an undesirable one). A change in offset can result in oversteer or understeer.
