Brian i got
mine from On Track 4WD in Moss st Slacks Creek ph (07) 3290 2533. I had a really bad vibration at 75kph so i replaced a few bushes on trailing arms rear diff and put a dampener on, seems good now.

Good morning Brian,
I would try to track down the problem first. Jimny's are very light and do not usually require a steering damper. Maybe get your wheels,
suspension and alignment checked first? Front wheel bearings might cause wheel wobbles too. Steering dampers can be a good thing but they do very often mask a serious wheel, tire or
suspension problem.
Cheers, Udo
