SS174 Steering Damper.
Category: Suspension and 4x4 parts


A steering damper rather than a road-spring shock, the RAW 4x4 SS174 suits the Toyota 4Runner / Surf Wagon (LN60, YN60). It mounts to the steering linkage to take the harshness out of bump-steer and kickback.
A steering damper is a small hydraulic cylinder mounted across the steering linkage. It doesn't support the vehicle or set ride height - instead it absorbs sharp side-to-side inputs, calming wheel-fight, shimmy and kickback over corrugations and ruts. On a solid-axle Toyota like this one it makes the steering feel less nervous on rough surfaces.
It's listed to fit the Toyota 4Runner / Surf Wagon (LN60, YN60); confirm your exact build and variant with the workshop before ordering. The SS174 is catalogued against the specific chassis codes shown, which is what determines the correct length and mounting. If you're not certain of your code, we can confirm it from the vehicle.
Drivers most often notice a steering damper after a lift, larger tyres, or a lot of dirt-road and corrugation work, where the steering tends to dart and tramline. The supplier hasn't published valving or stroke figures for the SS174 in this record, so we won't quote them; it's listed as the correct damper for the Toyota above.
Oak Flats Muffler Men sells and fits RAW 4x4 suspension hardware in-house across the Illawarra, so the SS174 can be supplied on its own or fitted and set up in the bay. Fitting a steering damper is a bolt-on job to the linkage and chassis mount, with a check that the steering sweeps fully lock-to-lock without fouling. We match the part to your vehicle first.
