Steering Damper - Rattle

MODEL

Defender

DETAIL

We have received a small number of reports which indicate a rattle emanating from the steering damper, investigations have shown that the damper is not being clamped in the bracket tightly enough due to the thickness of the stem washer.

A new stem washer has been introduced which has a reduced thickness, this will allow the stem to sit into the mounting brackets correctly to achieve the necessary clamping.

ACTION REQUIRED

Upon customer complaint of a rattle emanating from the steering, the new stem washer should be fitted as detailed below.
