steering damper .... I am confused!!

[bobtailed disco]

Hi all
Just taken delivery of a Delphi de carbon steering damper (listed on box as a Bearmach BA2247) but it isn't acting as i would expect, as soon as i took the band off it extended out all the way just like a shock. Won't this make it stear one way? or is this how the gas ones are?
cheers Rob

How easy is it to push back in?

so so... you can't push it in with your hand but if you push it against the floor it will go in easy

That is norm fitted 1 a D1 made a big difference it was a lot more positive and no bump steer

I fitted one on Blue, damned good damper.  I would say that if you have a lifted car with no castor correction you may notice it drift to the left but with about 3 degrees of castor it makes precious little difference.
