[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 126856, member: 456"] Hi Stu, how fast were you going? I suspect that elementary mechanics comes into this. The faster one is going the more kinetic energy which had to be dissipated through the front tyre leaving curved skid marks as it goes from lock to lock. In my case they went on for several tens of yards. I stayed upright gazing at the demon that seemed to be trapped in the steering system and only fell of when I got to the end of the straight where, unfortunately I landed on my face. No sales pitch here but remember that I can supply a complete hydraulic steering damper kit to fit the JE front end for £125 and that includes every part including the damper. You keep the original damper knob although it no longer serves a purpose. [/QUOTE]
