hi guys.
My steering damper is dry, and the drop arm and joints etc are bone dry. I have attached pictures.
Under the duster (drop arm joint), where the grass bit is coming out is bone dry and rusty as hell.
No greasy nipples to use either.
I tried pushing and wiggling the damper but no movement. When I push the damper up towards chasis, it makes a knocking sound like its hiting a bit of metal at the drop arm end.
My steering seems fine, but then this is my first landy and I have no doubts this problem was present when I got it 4-5 months back so nothing to compare it to.
Can you guys give me any advice on this? I assume I need to get replacements? any pointers on cost? Can a novice change it over etc.
Thanks in advance
