re: Replace your Steering Stabilizer, you'll be surprised.
Been planning on reolacing mine for a while, but I'm still under warranty. Took it ti two dealers and of course they could find nothing wrong. hen I checked the price, $615 less 25% or $461, I thought here has to be a better way. JLC(?) phone was not in service so checked Amazon. Part was $28.80 incl tax and shpg, so ordered one. Order got messed up and I tried to cancel but couldn't, however I can returnit no charge. I went to Autozone and ordered on for $35 + and it is a Stabilus. The new one and the original were made in Koblenz, I have yet to check Amazon's which I think I will probably keep as a backup.
Changing the damper would have been easy enough if Dupa had turned the wheel the correct way. Still managed to fight through it.
Haven't driven it yet, still waiting for the rest of my Spectre order to come in, but will put it on the road tomorrow if not raining downpour like today.
