This steering damper with mounting bracket (OEM SD01B) fits Bukhanka Classic (2.4L & 2.9L) and Bukhanka Modern (2.7L) models. Acting as a horizontal shock absorber for the steering system, it reduces unwanted vibrations and steering oscillations, especially under off-road conditions or when using wider tires. Developed as part of the RIF (Rif4x4) accessory range, this damper offers a significant improvement in driving stability, making it a valuable upgrade for both everyday use and heavy-duty expeditions.
Why choose this steering damper?
This unit provides equal damping in both compression and rebound, ensuring smoother steering control and reduced driver fatigue. By suppressing shimmy and kickback from uneven terrain, it increases directional stability at higher speeds and enhances safety on gravel, mud, and unpaved tracks. Supplied complete with a dedicated mounting bracket, it allows direct installation onto the chassis without the need for custom welding or drilling, making it an easy and effective upgrade.
Technical details:
Material: Heavy-duty steel body with corrosion-resistant coating and rubber bushings
Includes: Steering damper assembly with custom mounting bracket set
OEM reference: SD01B (Bukhanka/RIF accessory part)
Function: Reduces steering vibration, improves stability and handling
Compatible models:
Bukhanka Classic (2.4L)
Bukhanka Classic (2.9L)

Installation tips:
Fit the mounting bracket securely to the chassis and attach the damper between the steering box and axle or tie-rod mount. Use UAZ-spec bolts and tighten to factory torque specifications. Ensure free movement without binding and check alignment before road use. Regularly inspect the bushings for wear and replace when necessary for continued performance.
When to install or upgrade:
Recommended when experiencing steering wobble, fitting oversized wheels, or preparing for long-distance travel on mixed terrain. This upgrade is especially effective for off-road and expedition setups, reducing steering effort and increasing comfort and control.
