I still have not found the need to replace my dampers after some 56k miles. They still work fine.
However, when I looked at Wolf’s new dampers, I see that they also market a kit consisting of long bolts and a variety of spacers. This is because apparently the OEM dampers as fitted in the factory do not always line up properly and may be working slightly skewed. Whether it makes a lot of difference or not, I don’t know but obviously Cain thinks so!
Could this be why some dampers need replacing before others, depending on the degree of misalignment and subsequent piston wear?
Not shure if the factory fitted dampers are bad. But the rubbers in the fittingeyes are bad and this could cause a problem with the German MOT/TÜV. But with just new TÜV last month, he hasn‘t seen it. So in first sight no reason for a change.
But after some upgrades of dampers at my old Minis and my Harleys I noticed a big step forward in the quality of riding/driving.
So I want to go a step forward. After the fitting of brakereactionbars I was massive surprised about the difference. And now it‘s a little like open a christmas present. Would the new dampers also give a nice benefit?
We‘ll see.
