Monroe Shocks & Struts Steering Damper P/N:SC2943

Help keep road vibration from reaching the steering wheel with the Monroe Magnum SC2943 Front Steering Damper. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1984-1987 Pontiac Fiero (All engines), with one damper used per vehicle. The damper works like a horizontal shock absorber in the steering system. It helps reduce the vibrations that travel through the steering before they reach the driver, which is intended to improve control and reduce driver fatigue.

• Strong and durable: A sintered iron piston and a .50-in. nitrocarburized piston rod are built for durability and long service life.
• Full displaced valving: Provides a wider valving range on both the compression and extension cycles for consistent damping.
• All-weather fluid: Contains special additives that help it handle extreme temperatures and reduce oil breakdown, plus friction modifiers for smooth rod response.
• Self-lubricating seal: The fluid seal is designed to work without excessive wear or friction.
• Horizontal mounting: The unit is designed to be mounted horizontally.

Specifications: The damper measures 11.75 in (298.5 mm) compressed and 19.125 in (485.8 mm) extended, with 7.375 in of travel and a 1.64 in (41.7 mm) body diameter. Both the upper and lower ends use a loop bushing and sleeve mount with a 10mm sleeve ID and a 25.4mm sleeve overall length, and lengths are measured from the center of each loop. A dust shield is not included. Premium grade. Country of origin: United States.

Signs a steering damper may need replacing: Look for excessive steering-wheel shimmy or vibration, fluid leaking from the body, or a dented or damaged damper. Because tires, alignment and worn steering components can cause similar symptoms, diagnose the cause before replacing the damper.
