Audi VW Steering Damper - Sachs 1024159011

Product Information

A steering damper is a component on a vehicle that helps control rapid steering movements by dampening sudden handlebar inputs, essentially stabilizing the front end, especially during rough terrain or high speeds; when a steering damper fails, you might experience increased vibrations, unusual steering noises like knocking or clunking, excessive handlebar movement, and difficulty maintaining a straight line, especially at higher speeds.

• Increased vibrations: Noticeable shaking or wobbling of the steering wheel, particularly on uneven surfaces or at high speeds
• Steering instability: Difficulty keeping the wheel straight, sudden sharp turns
• Unusual noises: Knocking, clunking, or grinding sounds coming from the steering area

About Sachs

ZF Sachs AG, also known as Fichtel & Sachs was founded in Schweinfurt in 1895 and was a well-known German family business. At its last point as an independent company, the company name was Fichtel & Sachs AG. In 1997, the automotive supplier was taken over by Mannesmann and renamed Mannesmann Sachs AG. As of 2001, Sachs belonged to ZF Friedrichshafen as a subsidiary company ZF Sachs AG. In 2011, ZF Sachs, like other Group subsidiaries, was legally merged with ZF Friedrichshafen AG and the independent business units integrated into the ZF divisions. Sachs has since become a brand of ZF Friedrichshafen AG.
