A method of manufacturing a damping device, notably for a steering tie rod, the said device comprising a rod which extends along a main axis and which is intended to be connected to a first mechanical component, a securing portion which surrounds the said rod and which is intended to be connected to a second mechanical component, and a sleeve made of elastomeric material which is arranged between the rod and the fixing bushing so as, through elastic deformation thereof, to allow at least axial movement of the fixing bushing with respect to the rod, in which method the fixing bushing is offset axially with respect to the rod to force the elastic deformation of the sleeve and the introduction of a corresponding preload, then the sleeve is locked so as to keep it, when the device is at rest, in a state of permanent axial elastic deformation and preload.
