Man, mine was completely toast.

I replaced it and immediately my car felt like a new one.

I had just replaced the struts/shocks and was a little bit concerned with how much harshness I felt at the wheel.

I replaced the steering stabilizer and I am in hog heaven.

It actually improved the overall feel of the car considerably.
