Saturday got the 33"s and new rubber fitted, she is looking schweet now!! So what did I do yesterday? Go out wheeling of course!!!

5mins in PING!!! There goes the steering damper, the eye seperated from the pin on the panhard end. Now all the suspension is new, havent taken it out wheeling yet since the install so my question is, has the damper failed or havent I got it set up right?

I did the install myself and set the damper brackets up as close as to what I though was the same as the OE gear orientation. The OE damper has tie rod ends where as this one is fixed, is the damper not allowing for enough movement?

Its a EFS Enforcer damper and I run 2" with Sup Engineering adj panhard and comp spec draglink.

Did that hit the back of teh drag link? looks close. i have mine set up higher than that. note that the space between the drag link and the panard reduces as you steer.
