steering damper

Exactly my point! I know that these did not come factory equipped on the vehicle but apparently there was a reason to design something to help out with the issue. 

I just thought I would bring this up because this thread was kind of implying to not use these and if there was anyone out there that enjoys wheeling as much as we do and they have a manual steering rig and not aware of how this steering could respond under treacherous terrain, I just wanted to offer some helpful advise. 

Our 47 CJ2A had one of these “aftermarket band aides” on it when I inherited it from my folks because they loved taking this jeep out wheeling on their camping trips. I started to put it back on the jeep during my restoration of it, but being the fact that I really don’t want to take it out and pinstripe it before I hand it down to my son. Think you can see in the photo that I took it back off (just need to remove the brackets and touch up the paint where the mounts are). My wife has nick named her the “Mistress” because she says I spend more time with it than I do with her…. lol.

Just plan on taking this around town and to car shows because we have another rig to take out on the trails. 

I knew what you were trying to say but I also realized you are a pretty new poster so didn't know how much you had read before you joined.

Over the years this has come up pretty often and generally its answered with a "check this, check that" kind of answer....it gets posted over and over so becomes the 'go to' answer.

I just wanted to agree that yes, there could be a benefit to those projects that are outside the jurisdiction of the Jeep Police.

Also, anybody that has driven an old tractor knew what you were saying.
