Ce que pourrait donner un amortisseur de direction avec retour au centre (Photo montage)
I am still trying to understand what the self centering issue is about. Mine does self centre although a little slowly. I have never had any concerns regarding steering. I grant that at night or on tight roads, with oncoming traffic, I do have to concentrate that bit more than in my wife's X3.
From talking with the firm - the spring steering stabilizers also significantly improves road handling/holding a straight line without making all the corrections to the wheel.
In speaking with them, was the Grenadier already on their radar?
I spoke to their R&D director - it was not on their radar - but it is now. I've emailed over the website and as much spec information as I have and they will see my vehicle in January '24
Hi YellowLab, I have a call into them too at 800-669-9690. Awaiting a call back from Abraham who I spoke to a few months back. Figure another call will help peak their interest. Let us know once you take your vehicle there and when they have one for the Grenadier. DaBull
From talking with Rod - he is thinking about 4 days to get the bracketing done and test the performance of the spring versus gas 'return to center' feature. He did say that their system would also help with the play in the wheel as well - make it ride without the corrections.
That sounds like something a yoga influencer might say!
Because the truck has such a large steering stabilizer the return is slowed down such that it appears there is no return. The stabilizer is essential for off road and washboard driving where the reaction to the road is not transferred to your hands which is a very good thing.
From looking at their web site and I'll have more conversations with them - the entire system looks easily removable by a novice. If that proves the case - I would leave it on and remove if I have some 'field work' to do.
So, you actually drive the vehicle rather than ride in it, correct?
My wife drove our lifted (sway bars removed) '96 Disco for 16 years and never once had difficulty steering.
This rtc damper you’re looking at might help anyone who wants a stronger centering, but there is no play in the steering, and there is no constant correcting to go in a straight line. Those things are not accurate statements of driving grenadiers. Ive now driven 4, over thousands of km.
Easy to fix on the trail. In the dark. Drunk. And injured. With no tools. While taking enemy fire.
