Yeah, and Ive gone back and forth on that whole "pre-production" thing.
Info I can source also suggests there is no hardware change on steering for cars, including 23.5 and 24. Does not preclude anything software, Im not sufficiently across electric/jydraulic combo to know if that is a possibility. You’d probably like to think not, unless it is burned onto a bombproof chip… even then… but happy to learn something from anyone who knows?
I did see something here that the software updates changed the pressure in the steering system which made it feel tighter. Think a gentleman from the UK brought that up
How can an owner identify a version 23.5?
Same as one I've talk to this vendor on - but located in WA. I think the key though is to see how we like the vehicle first before tweaking - so this is perhaps a 'back of the pocket' sanity pill.

My larger concern is that the steering stabilizer has less ground clearance than the rest of the steering components. My fear is that it is only a matter of time until it gets bashed or broken. Not really sure why it is mounted in the position that it currently resides in.Same as one I've talk to this vendor on - but located in WA.

They broke it off-roading in the Red Noland prototype and said its fine without it.
They currently do not make the dampener for a Grenadier - but will when they get one for fitment. The ground clearance they know is a requirement. I’ve been talking with the head of R&D about it.
There is no doubt it is not in a good spot. The saving grace is that it’s pretty easy to remove in the field and it won’t cripple the car, it will still be driveable.
They don’t ship this one to USA
If it’s a problem they a relocation kit will solve it.
HI Douggie, You might give some consideration to the "Exact Center Steering Stabilzer from Road Master. Both @YellowLab and I have been speaking to the company and they are going to support the Grenadier once a Forum member brings their Grenaider over to them. They are based in Washington State in the USA. They have a patent on this Return to Center Steering Stabilizer which is very unique and sounds perfect for the Grenadier. Not only is it a stabilizer, it also has a return to center function built in.

I looked to see where they are to see if it would be worth making a day of being a guinea pig. They're in Vancouver, WA, which might more easily be doable for one of the Portland area members.
