Frequent questions
Dual steering dampers are an essential upgrade because they eliminate the “death wobble” or steering vibration that often affects classic off-road vehicles, especially after modifications such as suspension lifts or larger tires. Unlike the standard configuration with a single damper, our dual system distributes impact forces evenly, protecting steering components, reducing driver fatigue, and providing superior control on irregular terrain. This exclusive FJ Classics upgrade radically transforms the driving experience, offering stability that exceeds even the vehicle’s original specifications.
The custom front and rear sway bars we install at FJ Classics represent a significant advancement over the original configuration of classic Toyota FJs. These components are specifically calibrated to dramatically reduce body roll in curves while maintaining the articulation necessary for off-road performance. The result is a perfect balance between on-road stability and off-road capability that was impossible with factory specifications. Our customers immediately notice the difference: greater confidence when taking curves at speed, reduced pitching during braking, and more precise and comfortable driving without sacrificing the legendary off-road capabilities that make an FJ special.
