    I can't advise you on the gap, as my ute damper has the front shocky style mounts.
    One of the members with a wagon will no doubt let you know if it's all good.
    Cheers
    Thanks GUtsy
    The old nuts were hard to crack (I could'nt do it) and the drivers side took many hits with the hammer to come off.
    So I don't know it thats normal or not!

    Just taken the truck for a test drive and it seams to pull to the left a little. Do I need to get an alignment or will it settle in and be OK??

    All in all mate, its a steering dampener. Probably don't need heavy duty unless your in a race truck, but as mentioned above the RTC's sometimes cause more headaches than there worth.
    Go an adjustable and then you can set to your liking..
    If everything suspension wise is correct the cars steering geometry with self center anyway..

    Again its just a dampener, so not critical.
    But stick to brand name stuff. Tough dog, iron man, old man emu etc.
