Hi, thanks,

Well, originally (5 years ago) I had quite some steering unstability and thought it was because of the wider track that the 944 turbo Cup spindles gave in combination with 7"x16 wheels.
That steering damper could cure it, so was advertised by Gerd Tafel (!) then..
It didn't help (of course) because the unproper (non-centered) wheel mounting that was the fault (don't ask), in comb with old bushings of the trailing arms Well, they 'looked' ok at that time; now I know better...

But, it does work coming out of corners (because of the Bilstein gas damper) and it really not heavier steering (which surprised me, since the gas damper should give some resistance).
Also, at high speeds, I need every reassuring thought to cope with the stress/exitement of hitting a pot hole and loosing the wheel and the steering damper helps there too!

Regards,
Walter
