Steering dampeners seem to have gone out since power steering came in. Cowie steering racks wear out rather quickly - i.e. get sloppy- so unless it is brand new think Howe or Fortin because you will change it eventually and it won't be a bolt on proposition.And yes I am speaking from experience.
Yer it is brand new, bought it cheap a couple of years ago sounds like it wasn't to good of an idea though. I suppose if i get 2 years out of it i will be happy.
