Title: OME steering stabilizer
Post by: mikesknives on July 17, 2008, 08:48:17 PM

I want to change my steering damper and I'm fitting an OME lift kit and would like to keep the parts the same but I've been told that the ome damper needs a mounting modification as its designed for lefties.  Anyone any experience with this (photos?) or another make that will bolt on (OE) with no mods.

Old Man Emu stuff comes from Australia where they have right-hand-drive cars, so the OME should be compatible with your Jeep.

I use a ProComp one on my TJ which I bought from:   http://www.explorerprocomp.co.uk/acatal ... mpers.html (http://www.explorerprocomp.co.uk/acatalog/ShocksDampers_Steering_Dampers.html)

I have the OME one, and the only difference is it requires a custom sized mounting bolt.  This is due to the Jeep mounting hole being smaller than the hole on the shock.  I bet that OME has the bolt you will need.
