Corrugations and bigger tyres send shimmy back through the wheel; the RAW 4x4 SS177 is a steering damper, listed to fit the Ford Maverick Y60 SWB wagon, that mounts across the steering linkage to settle it.

What does a steering damper do?

A steering damper is effectively a small horizontal shock absorber fitted across the steering linkage. On a solid front-axle 4x4 it damps the feedback and shimmy that corrugations, ruts and larger tyres can send back through the steering, helping the wheel sit calmer in your hands. The SS177 is a direct replacement for a worn or standard damper; the supplier publishes no valving or stroke figures here, and we won't quote any.

Will it suit Ford Maverick Y60 SWB wagon?

It's listed to fit the Ford Maverick Y60 SWB wagon. The Y60 generation was sold here as the Ford Maverick and, badged differently, as the Nissan Patrol, so listings for the two often overlap. Damper fitment comes down to the steering geometry and mounting on your exact build, so we check the listing against the vehicle before ordering.

Is there anything to certify?

A steering damper is a steering-system component, not an emissions part, so it carries none of the exhaust compliance questions. Replacing a like-for-like damper is routine; we'll flag anything relevant for NSW if your build affects steering. RAW 4x4 publishes no approval here and we won't imply one.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits steering dampers in-house across the Illawarra. We match the RAW 4x4 listing to your build, check the mounting points and clearances on the vehicle, and quote the labour once we've seen it. It's listed to fit the Ford Maverick Y60 SWB wagon; confirm your exact build with the workshop before ordering.

Stocked and fitted by Oak Flats Muffler Men, the Illawarra exhaust and 4x4 specialist in Oak Flats, NSW.

Common questions

Does the SS177 fit my Ford Maverick Y60 SWB wagon?
It's listed to fit the Ford Maverick Y60 SWB wagon. We confirm the steering setup against the listing at the workshop before ordering.
Will a steering damper stop all the wheel shimmy?
It settles steering feedback rather than curing worn components. We check the rest of the front end when we fit the SS177, so you're not masking a tie-rod or bearing issue.
