Koni Shocks and Billstein Steer Damper

[is.chowa]

Just ordered the steering damper/stabilizer from Shox.com This is the billstein BE3-2645-HO. Anybody any thots? Will that improve the handling? My OEMs were leaking.

I was also informed that they has a set of Koni FSD for the p30/32 chassis for $509 set of 4. The website says delivery is free. I had to decline as I already have a set in my ASLY2000.

Just installed the steering damper as the oem was leaking and totally dead. Waiting to go for a spin to check it out. Install was easy.

Here are couple of fotos, the old damper and the new.

What do you think about the Billstein? I have one myself, but it's always been there so I don't know the difference.

edit: ha! I just realized this is for a motorhome. Mine's for my tow vehicle, so we're not comparing apples.

Have not had a chance to check it out on a roadtrip yet. Next week, maybe. The OEM unit was leaking and essentially "dead" so there should be an improvement. Will post results later.

Steve, what have you experienced with new damper??????

[is.chowa]

I have done significant work on the front end. Including SS springs, bell cranks other components, alignment, got rid of the airbags and the damper which was the last "improvement"

I can say that the coach handling has improved to the point that my "Navigator" can now take her turn at the helm without experiencing the "white knuckle" effect. This was noted on my recent trip of 10K kms or 6K miles.
