Yes but, the RRC has a steering damper fitted behind the axle.  I have fitted a Defender drag link and moved it inside the steering guard using that as the chassis bracket.  It is more effective in that the drag link moves further but I find I get wheel flutter on the RH wheel.

I have HD steering rods with no damper, no probs, just have to make sure the pre load on the hub is absolutely spot on or adapt the rod with a clamp for the bracket etc.

The extra mass of some H/D track rods can negate the need for a hydraulic damper.
