Description

Defender Steering Damper by Old Man Emu (OME).  This is a high-quality Foam Cell Steering Damper.  Unlike gas-charged steering dampers, these do not extend on their own, making fitment easier and preventing steering from pulling to the driver’s side.  They have equal 50/50 valving on both compression and extension stroke and 9.5″ of travel.

As another integral component of Old Man Emu’s 4WD suspension range, steering stabilisers are designed to reduce the effect of wheel vibration and improve the feel, handling and control of the vehicle.  They will also reduce the aggressive rotation of the steering wheel over rough roads without affecting steering wheel return.

As standard the pin end of the Defender steering damper is fixed with a plain nut and another nut on top to lock them.  These are replaced in these kits to a nyloc nut to eliminate the chance of the fixing unwinding.

  • 9 stage valving: for optimum performance
  • 15mm piston rod: stronger than the original
  • Steel stone guard: protects the piston rod against stone damage
  • 35mm piston and bore: increased oil volume
  • Twin tube design: protects the internal components against stone damage
  • Multi lip seal: prevents oil loss
  • Original mounts: for ease of installation original stabiliser mounts are used where appropriate

Please Note: Do not over-tighten the pin end of the Defender steering damper as it will over compress the bushes causing the bushes to crack and maybe causing the mounting to flex and break, all these Defender steering dampers come with nyloc nuts, so there is no need to over tighten them.

Delivery

Twinwoods 4x4 ships Land Rover parts across the UK and around the world. We regularly send parts overseas and use trusted tracked courier services so UK and international customers can order with confidence.

Worldwide delivery is available through DPD and DHL Express, depending on the destination, parcel size, weight and available courier services. Add the parts you need to your basket, enter your delivery address, and the checkout will show the available delivery options and prices before payment.

Free mainland UK postage and packaging is available on eligible orders over £99, subject to our delivery terms and conditions.

Returns
14-day cancellation Return carriage at your cost Check fitment before ordering
Please choose carefully before ordering. Check part numbers, fitment and suitability before purchase. Please do not order parts simply to try them or on the assumption that they can be fitted and then returned if unsuitable.
  • Changed your mind? Tell us within 14 days of delivery. You then have a further 14 days to return the goods.
  • Return carriage and safe packing are your responsibility for change-of-mind returns.
  • Managed UK returns: where suitable, we can provide a cost-effective, hassle-free tracked return service with straightforward drop-off, proof of handover and tracking linked to your return. The cost will be advised before it is arranged and may be deducted from your refund.
  • Change-of-mind returns must be returned complete, in their original packaging and in resaleable condition. Returned goods must be the same goods supplied by us and complete with all components, accessories and any free or promotional items supplied with them.
  • Please do not fit or attempt to fit a part unless you intend to keep it. Fitting, attempted fitting, contamination, damage, missing packaging or excessive handling can substantially reduce the value of the goods and may result in a corresponding reduction to your refund.
  • Faulty, damaged or incorrectly described? Contact us first. We will advise the appropriate return method and will normally provide a prepaid return service or cover reasonable agreed return costs.
Returning it yourself? Please use a suitable return service with appropriate cover for the value of the goods, pack and address the parcel correctly, and retain sufficient evidence to identify and trace the return.

Returns – quick FAQs

How long do I have to return an item?
For a UK consumer change-of-mind cancellation, tell us within 14 days of receiving the goods. You then have a further 14 days to return them.
Who pays return carriage?
For change-of-mind returns, return carriage and safe packing are your responsibility. Where suitable, we can provide a managed tracked return service and advise the cost before it is arranged.
What condition must a change-of-mind return be in?
Change-of-mind returns must be complete, in their original packaging and in resaleable condition. Returned goods must be the same goods supplied by us and complete with all components, accessories and any free or promotional items supplied with them.

Fitting, attempted fitting, contamination, damage, missing packaging or excessive handling can substantially reduce the value of the goods and may result in a corresponding reduction to your refund.
Can I fit a part and then return it?
Please check fitment and suitability before installation. Please do not fit or attempt to fit a part unless you intend to keep it.

Once a part has been fitted or an attempt has been made to fit it, it may be marked, contaminated, damaged or otherwise unsuitable for resale as a new part. We do not operate a used-parts or bargain-bin section, so a fitted or damaged part can have very little resale value.

Where your handling has reduced the value of the goods beyond what is reasonably necessary to inspect them, your refund may be reduced to reflect that loss in value.
What if the item is faulty?
Contact us before returning it. Where a return is reasonably required for a faulty, damaged or incorrectly described item, we will normally provide a prepaid return service or cover reasonable return costs agreed with us.
Are any items excluded from change-of-mind returns?
Statutory exclusions apply to certain types of goods. Please see our full Terms & Conditions for details.
How do I start a return?

Please include your order number and a brief reason for the return. Do not send anything back until you have received the appropriate return instructions.

Warranty

Buy with confidence: all new parts sold by Twinwoods 4x4 include at least 12 months manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.

Some products and brands may include a longer warranty period where this is provided by the manufacturer. Where applicable, this will normally be stated on the individual product page or covered by the manufacturer’s own warranty terms.

Warranty cover applies to manufacturing defects. It does not cover misuse, incorrect fitting, competition use unless stated, contamination, modification, damage during installation, normal wear and tear, or failure caused by an unrelated vehicle fault. For certain components, proof of professional fitment may be required.

Warranty claims may require the part to be returned for inspection and/or supplier testing before the claim is accepted. Any advance replacement is discretionary.

Warranty remedies relate to the part itself, meaning repair or replacement, or refund if those are not possible. Warranty does not cover labour, removal or refitting, diagnostics, consumables, travel or other incidental costs.

This warranty is in addition to your legal rights and does not reduce those rights.
