Tough Dog RTC Steering Damper

RTC STEERING DAMPER

Sir Isaac Newton might never have owned a 4WD, but he certainly knew what he was on about when he wrote his 3rd law of physics. “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Every time something fights your steering, the Return To Centre damper is right there with the equal and opposite reaction to keep you on track. Tough Dog steering stabilisers are the only award-winning RTC steering damper on the market. We paved the way for return to centre dampers in Australia. Designed specifically for the application. Using the return to centre principle, the coil over spring forces the steering damper to return to the neutral position, helping to eliminate steering wheel kick on uneven surfaces. The return to centre damper aids drivers in their fight with the steering wheel over rough terrain, taming the erratic steering movement without compromising overall steering feel and response. Take the fight out of your steering today with an RTC damper. 

  • Reduces shimmy and shake
  • Reduces fatigue on a long drive as the coil steers you straight.
  • Returns the steering wheel back to centre, especially when oversize tyres are fitted.
  • Available for manual and power steer vehicles
  • 3 Year / unlimited km warranty recreational use (Conditions Apply)
Tough Dog XHD RTC Steering Damper

XHD RTC steering damper

This damper is designed for those extreme use applications like vehicles with oversized tyres and large suspension lifts. Taking the principle of the return to centre damper to the extreme, this damper certainly packs a punch when it comes to straightening out your steering. When a vehicle is fitted with a suspension lift greater than 100mm, the geometry of the front arms, and the length of travel required from the damper will change, requiring a larger, longer heavier duty damper. Tough Dog’s XHD dampers come will with all the brackets required to mount the damper as well as instructions on correct configuration of the coil and collar arrangement. Some modification may be required to ensure correct fit.
Suitable for vehicles with a suspension lift of 4” / 100mm or more. Available for 80/100 series LandCruisers, Nissan Patrol GQ/GU & Ford F250 models. 
  • Superb road handling characteristics
  • Return-to-centre principle especially for oversize tyres
  • Eliminate shimmy and assist in blowouts
  • Reduced driver fatigue on long distance driving
  • 3 Year / unlimited km warranty recreational use (Conditions Apply)
Tough Dog SV Adjustable Steering Damper

SV ADJUSTABLE STEERING DAMPER

Tough Dog’s award winning ‘SV’ adjustable damper is the only one of its kind to offer users the ability to adjust the damping force to suite driving style and vehicle requirements. It is especially effective on vehicles with oversized wheels, or increased wheel track that experience steering shimmy. The damping force is adjusted until the wheel shake is ‘tuned’ out of the equation. Let’s face it, every vehicle is different, and even small factors like tyre wear can affect the overall performance of the steering. With the SV unit, those factors are no longer a problem because a change in steering feel is just a dial turn away. SV dampers are available for most vehicles up to 50mm suspension lift, and for some vehicles up to 150mm of lift.
  • Superb road handling characteristics
  • 35mm bore for heavy-duty use
  • Eliminate shimmy
  • 3 Year/Unlimited km warranty recreational use (conditions apply)
  • Large range to suit most 4WD applications
