Well installing steering damper today on my 82 fj40, curious if this looks right. I have not tightened the nuts down yet? It just seems that the replacement should sit more flush with steering linkage.
OME steering damper install issue. Is this right? (1 Viewer)

here's mine
looks right to me?
I thought mine looked funny too but the thing was tight and no slop or play anywhere so I went with it, and its been 600mi or so and no problems yet.....
I have checked all my nuts and bolts 4 times now and only had to re-torq the u-bolts @ the first check, every thing else has been tight so far. honestly, I expected the shackle hardware to loosen up a bit but it is still tight and I've greased it twice.
She rides more like a truck now instead of a tractor..

It seems strange that they don't fit better than that. I torqued mine down thinking that it was just a tight fit and I ended up stripping one of the tapered extensions. Lesson learned.
