I hope that Gary isnt that old that he cant take out two nuts and bolts. Unless he forgets(old timers) to turn the steering wheel to get the drivers side bolt out.

Looking forward to a more stable steering on those roads with the ruts in the lanes especially.

Thanks for this thread.

Ordered it on 11/28 and it arrived today 12/4 nicely packaged.
If ya had any concerns with this seller I would say order one today.

How much did it help? I installed mine yesterday and I notice only a moderate improvement. The original had 39000 miles and really appeared to be ok.

Mine made a big difference. The car does not translate nearly as much road imperfections to the car and steering wheel. Feels factory fresh. I went with Stabilize brand from Germany but don't think it should matter. I had 26,000 miles at the time of replacement.

I just bought two right now, so I'll let you all know how long it takes. Does putting this on invalidate extended warranties? I hope not.

It shouldn't. It's replacement of OEM parts.

The parts available are OEM or better plus they would never look for things like this. It is the same if you would need new shocks for instance. They know and expect you to maintain your car.

same result here. i even compared tension of old shock to the new one and there wasnt much difference... no amazing new driving experience like some others have testified.
