Pedders TrakRyder 35mm Steering Damper - Suzuki Jimny JB74
The Pedders TrakRyder 35mm steering damper is a direct, upgraded replacement for the factory steering damper on the Suzuki Jimny JB74 (2018-onwards generation). Its enlarged 35 mm piston bore and cellular foam-filled body damp steering kickback off-road, without giving up on-road comfort.
Pedders TrakRyder 35mm Steering Damper for Suzuki Jimny JB74
Steering kickback after a rock strike, play in the steering system that only shows up off-road – these are the usual signs of a tired steering damper on the Jimny JB74. The Pedders TrakRyder is a direct, stronger replacement for that part, engineered to soak up sudden movement in the steering linkage before it reaches your hands.
It belongs to the TrakRyder line – Pedders steering dampers fitted as an upgraded replacement for the factory part, with no change to steering geometry and no modifications required.

- Piston made from iron alloy – a durable working component in direct contact with the damping fluid.
- Body filled with cellular foam membrane, supporting stable damper operation.
- Direct fitment in place of the factory steering damper – no extra brackets, no modifications.

Who it's for: The steering damper on the Jimny JB74 takes the first hit whenever a wheel strikes an obstacle sideways – it shields the rest of the steering system from sharp impulses. The Pedders TrakRyder version is aimed mainly at Jimnys driven regularly off-road, on larger tyres or with a lifted suspension, where the factory damper wears out faster. It is still a replacement for the original part rather than a stiff, race-oriented unit, so on-road comfort is not sacrificed for off-road performance.
Installation / notes
The damper installs directly in place of the factory unit, with no need for extra brackets or steering system modifications.
Why it's worth it
- An upgraded build over the stock steering damper, while keeping a straightforward, direct installation.
- Built specifically for the Suzuki Jimny JB74 (2018+) rather than as a universal-fit part.
If your Jimny JB74's steering starts kicking back on the trail, this damper is a simple, direct-fit first step before looking at more expensive steering system upgrades.
