Hi,

My car is making a light noise when I STEER RIGHT. I took it in to chrysler and they informed me that its my "Steering Damper". They wanted to charge my 1500 dollars to fix this. I dont know what to do. My extended warranty does not cover this. Will this become a huge issue if i dont get this repaired quickly and should i TAKE IT TO another shop to see whats wrong with it.
Thanks,
Frank

 

You can buy the damper online for about $30 and install it in 15 minutes. Two bolts.

Look at this thread....

Once in a while I hear a clunk. I have 53K miles and I am wondering if it would hurt to replace the steering damper. I noticed a huge price difference between the 2003 SLK part and the Crossfire part. Would the SLK part fit my car? I don't want to buy an aftermarket part.

 

Go ahead and change the damper because it's cheap and easy to do. I bought the SLK damper. Also check the wheel bearings because I made the mistake of thinking it was only the damper and it ended up costing me $1500 for the bearing, hub and labor.

 

Would a 2003 SLK damper do the trick? I am going to order it and maybe swap it out in my next oil change.
