About this part

Product Details

The Skyjacker steering damper kit uses a dampening shock design to help control your steering. This kit is designed to replace the weaker stock unit on your 1979-1985 Toyota Pickup, giving you back more control, especially when running larger tires and wheels. It works by absorbing the jarring impacts that can travel up the steering column, reducing the 'shimmy' that often comes with added weight and larger rubber.

Beyond just managing tire shake, this steering damper also makes a difference in driver comfort. By reducing the physical effort needed to keep larger tires pointed straight on the road, it can lessen driver fatigue on longer trips or rougher terrain. It's an inexpensive way to improve the feel and handling of your truck, especially if you've made modifications that affect steering stability. This kit comes with a limited lifetime warranty, offering peace of mind with your investment.
