no tricks to steering damper, eziest repair ever

one bolt (closest to drivers side) goes into a captive nut, otherwise i replaced the thru bolt/nut closest to idler arm with a new one , cant recall size.

car on ramps + penetrating fluid takes all of 20 minutes to change.

you will be amazed how little resistance the old damper has, mine literally slid up and down. good $30 repair!
