while my landy was on props i noticed if i turn my wheels to the drivers left they turn fair easy but then going the opposite way they are noticabley harder to turn,is this down to the steering damper or something else,or is it just normal,new damper hasnt been on long,

The feel of the damper should be exactly the same turning left or right, an unbalanced resistance could be potentially unsafe. This is the main difference in design spec over a suspension damper (they should be heavier in extension than compression).

disconnect one end and see if you still have the same problem.
