Ironman 4x4 Steering Damper 3542

Short Product Summary

Steering damper 3542 from Ironman 4x4 has a 35mm Teflon-banded piston and a 54mm twin-tube body. Each part number is valved for one vehicle application, so we confirm the number against your vehicle before you order.

Why This Product

On a long gravel run, constant vibration through the steering is tiring. This damper is built to reduce it, with a twin-tube body and a piston valved for one vehicle rather than a generic setting.

Key Features

• Foam cell technology – a closed-cell foam insert allows the horizontal mounting a steering damper needs
• 35mm Teflon-banded piston – a shim-stack piston, valved in-house by Ironman, that runs smoothly and lasts
• 54mm twin-tube body – more oil volume helps cooling and endurance, and the twin tube guards the internals against impact
• Extra-welded mounts – joined by fusion welding with additional welds, for strength and reliability
• Billet eye rings and stems – single-piece parts made to resist breaking or bending
• Vehicle-specific valving – every part number is valved for its own vehicle application

Ideal For

• Gravel and corrugated-road drivers tired of the steering wheel shaking on washboard tracks
• Overlanders and campers covering long rough distances where steering fatigue builds up
• Owners who know their part number and want 3542 confirmed against their vehicle before ordering
• Owners unsure which damper to pick who can send us make, model, year and engine so we can match the number
