Return to centre [RTC]

“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. Our designs are customised for each 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
• 2 Year/40,000km warranty (conditions apply)

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
• 2 Year/40,000 km warranty
• Large range to suit most 4WD applications
• 2 Year/40,000km warranty for 0 – 100mm lift applications (conditions apply)
• 1 Year/20,000km warranty 100mm+ lift applications (conditions apply)

XHD 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. Our 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.   Tough Dog also offer their pioneer ‘SV’ adjustable steering damper in larger sized to suit vehicles with more than 100mm of lift.
