The type 001200 Milner steering damper is 1.25 inches shorter than the original Toyota one on full extension. I checked its fully extended length before fitting. I then removed the Toyota one and turned the steering to full lock. I then measured the distance between the tapered eyes. This was 1/2 shorter than the Milner steering damper. I then fitted the Milner damper to see what effect it had. When turning the steering on full lock no resistance was felt but the steering damper was obviously taking fully extended tension which was not designed for. Also the axle was being pulled across the chassis sideways.
Be careful fitting because you may not realise the problem unless you compare the extended measurement of the damper with the measurement of the eyes on full lock.
Each car may be different as the steering stops are adjustable.
