Is your Gravely zero-turn mower getting hard to steer or feeling loose? This heavy-duty steering damper (shock absorber) is likely the fix. It's a direct replacement for part number 00188700 and fits many Gravely ZT models like the ZT1534, ZT1540, ZT1840, ZT1944, ZT2148, ZT2348, ZT2352, and ZT2552. Its job is to dampen the movement of the steering levers, making steering smoother and more controlled, and reducing fatigue. This upgraded version from HD Switch includes a dust shield to protect the cylinder rod from dirt and debris, which can cause wear and failure. It also comes with lock nuts for installation. PRO TIP: It's highly recommended to replace BOTH steering dampers on your mower at the same time, even if only one is bad. Replacing just one can cause uneven steering and make the mower pull to one side. An essential repair for maintaining precise control of your zero-turn.
