I think its the same damper. The instructions are for jeeps it doesnt say sj anywhere on it but it is same thing as the procomp pretty much.

Also, having it bolted from the steering to the axle without keeping the standard item should
*technically* be an MOT failure... it's supposed to be attached to a non-moving part i.e. chassis
My mates have gotten into a habit of cutting the vitara damper mounts off and welding them to the inside of the passenger side chassis rail...

Sorry twiss, but that isn't correct, I even just phoned my dad who has been an mot tester for 30+ years to verify.
Plus on a landrover the steering damper is attached to the axle as standard.

They failed my SJ on the MOT cos of it...
Just looked on my old cert and it failed as:
"steering component is not secure to vehicle structure"
This just proves how unspecific the MOT is!
"yeah we don't like this guy lets fail it on as much stuff as possible"
w**kers

Man thats bullshit, so in effect they are saying that every landrover should fail every MOT
