Product Description

The ARB OMESD02 is an Old Man Emu replacement steering damper for 1999-2004 Land Rover Discovery II models. Engineered as a direct OE replacement, it eliminates the steering wheel kickback, shimmy, and rough-road vibration that worn or inadequate factory dampers allow - without altering steering wheel return or feel. The nine-stage coil spring valving and 35mm piston provide a wide damping range, making the OMESD02 effective whether the vehicle is loaded for overland travel or driven daily on mixed terrain.

The twin-tube heavy-gauge steel construction and piston rod stone guard offer robust protection against the stone damage and trail debris that Discovery II owners regularly encounter. Mounting uses the original stabilizer brackets where appropriate, requiring no separate kit. Best paired with the broader OME suspension upgrade range for Land Rover Discovery II for maximum steering and handling improvement.
