old man emu steering damper fj40 (1 Viewer)

[fj40er]

I am looking into a new steering damper for my Cruiser. I am looking for the Old Man Emu damper. Does any body have pics of this set up? And how do yall like this set up? I would love to find the part number so that I can order the right part. Thanks

Goes in the stock location (direct replacement). OME quality. Just picked one up from IPOR, have yet to install it.

Had one on my '79, worked just fine.

Should be easy to find the part number (I'm at work otherwise I would send a pic). Call Cam at Iron Pig OffRoad. He recently had a sale on OME/ARB parts.

i just changed mine. looked like it might have been the original. i was amazed at the difference it made.

Just switched mine out about 3 weeks ago from the Rancho axle mounted style damper. My old one was worn out and I think was rubbing the diff housing when I did sharp turns. Loving the new one and super easy to install. BTW you know you can't use the OME one with Saginaw conversion.

Pics, please ! !

I'm sure someone will post up some pics for you. But if you are just replacing the OEM, the location is the same, it is just a bigger diameter and of course OME yellow.

If you look at JT Outfitter's their stabilizer is claimed to be the same as the OME. Who knows? Unfortunately no pics installed.

Same with Man-a Fre. Not an installed pic. Except that is the OME stabiliser.

What are you currently running?

 

[fj40er]

I am running the stock one. It may be the orginial one

Another photo. I've had mine on for a number of years and am very happy with its performance.

Here's a freshly installed one. It is definitely beefier than the stock one it replaced.

Need some help: I just installed an OME steering stabilizer (OMESD23) on my 1978 FJ40. I installed it into the original mounts with OME's hardware. I can not turn left with it (will not expand). There is no binding that I can see. Looking at photos of older 40s, my frame mount seems to be farther to toward the passenger side. However, there are no holes for moving the frame mount closer to center. Thanks for any help.

Not sure if this helps, but here's where it is mounted on mine ... and works as expected

I replaced my 40 year old factory one (which still showed good resistance to movement) with an OME and noticed very little difference. But, I have minitruck PS, so that masks at lot of the impacts you would feel through the wheel.
