A steering damper assembly includes a cylindrical pressure tube defining a working chamber; a piston assembly disposed in the working chamber; a reserve tube extending circumferentially around the pressure tube and defining a reservoir chamber that is radially between the reserve tube and the pressure tube; a base valve fluidly connecting the working chamber and the reservoir chamber; and a piston rod fixed to the piston assembly. The reserve tube includes a cylindrical portion and a bulged portion. The cylindrical portion extends concentrically around the pressure tube. The bulged portion includes a first circumferential section and a second circumferential section, the first circumferential section having a maximum radial distance at most equal to an inner radius of the cylindrical portion, and the second circumferential section having a maximum radial distance greater than the inner radius of the cylindrical portion.
