NO.
Not until the rack damper was replaced/adjusted.

I've always wondered about that little rack damper bolt. I've adjusted on it a little bit via some info on this forum, but is there any definitive way of know it actually needs to be replaced? Or is it a $75 couldn't hurt?

If you have excess engine rock/shake.

if it is the shiny new gold unit = it has been replaced and needs to be adjusted..

If it is nickle or rust/corroded = replace it = a good investment.

so, what does that rack damper bolt (617) actually do?
