I'm sorry... I probably should have been a little more specific in my reply.
My FG84D has had a coil suspension conversion done by ATW. Part of that modification included the addition of a steering damper.
I do not believe that a steering damper is an OEM component on a Canter, which probably explains why your truck does not have one.

That's correct, the steering damper is not standard fare on the Canter although I reckon it should be. I caught the side of a log while doing a creek crossing in my previous 649 and the steering wheel spun so hard that I near broke my hand. I'm sure a decent steering damper would have slowed down the kickback a little. Perhaps this is why Blackduck has fitted one even though he is still on leaves?

Sorry for the late response Ben but weve been out at Lake Argyle sucking up the serenity.
Its an after market return to centre steering damper as has already been said
its been great at taking the wobbles out of the steering wheel and reduces the whip round effect on rough ground
ATW fit them on thier conversions
I manufactured a solid mount from 10mm m/s bolted to a crossmember and then to the steering rod
its a good investment

They look great,(what only 5) now the tyre choice is the next problem. So now I know why the question the other day but let me say this with the way that mine are running I believe that I would fit another set. The thing being that I use mine of road as well and there maybe a better tyre if most of your running is done on road. I still have not had any problem with the tyre beads that I'm using.

ive been looking around dan but I need a tyre that's good on road plus can do sand
we have a lot of sand here
price aswell plays a big part
and so far the kl71 comes in as the goods at $370 per tyre
its only going to be used for holidays and weekends now so I could get good wear out of them
and they look good
