Clunking steering damper

[scottm]

My wife's been complaining of a suspension clunk in her 80, I noticed her steering damper is sloppy loose at the joints, while mine is pretty solid. Are those joints available separately? I remember some guys have had trouble getting the dampers out. I'm not planning to replace the damper, this truck will never see off-road or hard use. That's what my truck is for.

The damper is one piece. New factory ones are VERY costly. I recommend replacing a bad one with an OME, they are a lot cheaper than a new factory piece. Of course if you really want a new one I would be glad to fix you up .

You'll soon be getting my list, I've been poking at the trucks to see what I need.

Why are the OEM's so expensive? Is OME a downgrade from OEM?
