The driver is new to offroading and other than coming to the murray has been no where as far as i know. Anyway taking it back to the shop
this morning to see what Manager says after he pyshically see it. Its in 3 pieces, anyone one here heard of a spring on a RTC damper failing

The seller cant honestly say it was abused off road can they? I'm no metalurgist but it looks to me that the steel is very poor quality (where ever it's from).
On another note, how can a steering dampener be abused? Maybe get smashed on a rock or something but apart from that what do ya do? Steer left and right too much?
Hello from Under Down Under!
Something that a lot of people have forgot is that there vehicles consist of Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean and other Asian made components. These Asian countries actually have some of the best quality control. It is the labor that is cheap. This does not make the product crap.
Posted using a computer made of components from China.
In the words of a Dhuck "QUACK".

Could have the wrong bits...
Yep agree my third, "Jap crap" was the term often used !
People/Humans in general, seem very quick to jump on the "band wagon" of hate, all because it seems everyone else is jumping on, and its oh so easy to join in, even if they themselves have no experience or first hand information to go on.

But Jap crap just rhymes so well!
Hello from Under Down Under!
Well the seller does not matter but this is a "TOUGH DOG " RTC steering damper,
IMO no way breathing was this broken because of "DRIVER ERROR",The spring
looks like rope or string , If anyone here is from Tough Dog more than happy to post
Failed product to you to follow Quality control and get a replacement. Just very weird
and think a few slipped through the gap as previosly stated

A mate has a tough dog rtc. Fitted for over a year so hopefully he's got through the danger period!
