Any input as to how much of a difference in feel to expect from the OME damper. I'm installing it tomorrow and wanted to know if it was gonna be noticeable. |

depends on how worn out your old one was...i replaced mine at 30,000 miles with an ome. not so much because i was having problems with my old one, but because i ordered the whole ome hd kit from john at ee and i wanted to install something right away. not too much that i could feel at the time. but i have only tested it on the mean streets of dallas, not off road. mike |

I replaced mine at 85k and there was a difference that I could feel, turned much tighter I thought and handled better, but just me. |

Dont really need a dampner IMO. Took mine off, one less thing to hit, cant tell the difference. |

The current dampner is in good condition I think. Only 48K on the Disco. I've heard they were a good cost worthy mod. Oh well-I guess I'll find out. Thanks. |

i would advise in putting that dampener back on. i have had worn out ones on varies vehicles and would not want to have one missing on my lifted truck. |

It does make a difference. I replaced the stock steering shock with an OME about 2 months ago and I can confirm that it is way better. You will feel it on potholes and other street irregularities.... My 2 cts, Lionel |
