ARB OMESD24 Old Man Emu Steering Damper by ARB

'93 fzj80 easy install. Noticeable improvement over the original 33 year old factory stabilizer. Quick install, fit great, functionally better than the old unit, quality seems good

Fit perfect and helped steering on the highway with 33” tires and grooves in the pavement. Replaced a 30+ year old Rancho unit.

This replaced an undersized steering damper on my 1997 Lexus LX450. The truck has 3" of lift and 35" tires on it and they were literally pulling me all over the road; it was a nightmare to drive over 45mph. Any rut in the road or imperfection and the tires would turn the wheel. This product made it a totally different vehicle. The product is way beefier than what was on it, and appears to have stainless hardware with lock nuts. Install was pretty straight forward, only 2 nuts to take off, and directions were included. However, due to the place this lives under the vehicle, and the fact that I'm in the northeast, the old damper was rusted in place. Start soaking those nuts now if you're going to change it. I used PB blaster for a few days and they were still really stuck. I mixed 50% ATF and 50% acetone (read it online), soaked it overnight, and the parts came loose the next day with way less grief. That will be my go to penetrant from now on. Hope this review was helpful.... My 1994 Land Cruiser 80 series also has Old Man Emu lift kit/steering damper, and from the looks of it, its been on there a while, and it still drives like a dream. Old Man Emu for the win.

This is a must have for the 80 series Land Cruiser. Helped a lot with the steering. The old 30+ year old factory steering stabilizer was worn out. Installation wasn’t bad once I had the proper tool (tie rod separator). Came with decent instructions. Had all the necessary hardware. Definitely worth the price. Highly recommend.

Arrived looking like it was dragged behind a car and then the end was used to hammer out a tie rod
