OMESD11 Old Man Emu Steering Damper Discovery 1 RRC
The OMESD11 Old Man Emu steering damper is engineered to replace the factory steering damper on your Discovery 1 or Range Rover Classic restoring proper steering feel and control on rough roads. Manufactured by ARB, an Australian off road suspension specialist, this steering stabilizer uses nine stage coil spring valving to deliver smooth, consistent damping across the full range of steering movement. A 35mm (1.38 in) piston and bore allow for increased oil volume, while the 15mm (0.59 in) induction hardened chrome piston rod is notably stronger than the factory unit it replaces. A twin tube design and steel stone guard protect the internal components from rock and debris impact during off road use, and a multi lip seal helps prevent oil loss over time for long lasting performance. This is a direct drop in replacement that mounts to the original steering damper location without modification, making installation straightforward for a home garage or professional shop. Reducing wheel vibration and aggressive steering wheel kickback over rough terrain, this Old Man Emu damper is a popular upgrade for Rover owners who want more confident, planted steering whether on the trail or the highway. Old Man Emu, a division of ARB, has built a strong reputation among Rover enthusiasts for suspension components engineered specifically to match the handling characteristics of Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles.

Does the OMESD11 fit both Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic?
Yes. This Old Man Emu steering damper fits Discovery 1 models from 1994 to 1999 and Range Rover Classic LH models from 1987 to 1995, across V8 petrol/gas and Tdi diesel engines.
Is this a Genuine Land Rover part or a specific brand?
This is an Old Man Emu steering damper manufactured by ARB, not a Genuine Land Rover part. Old Man Emu is a well established suspension brand known for components engineered specifically for Land Rover handling characteristics.
Is installation straightforward, and does it include mounting hardware?
Yes. The OMESD11 is a direct drop in replacement that bolts into the original steering damper mounting points, so no modification is required. It ships as a complete unit ready to install using the factory mounting hardware.
