Steering Linkage loose
Re: Steering Linkage loose
I'll take some pictures of these blocks I have which are simple to make. Added pictures below.

Re: Steering Linkage loose
Like others, I've changed the steering stabilizer (dampner or damper) a couple of times on my Crossfire. Performed the swap out similarly to how VALK commented earlier. There was a time when this steering dampner was really cheap ($15-$20) and it really is a cheaply made part. It still is relatively inexpensive considering and I could argue that it could be changed every 2-3 of years whether it was worn out or not. Cheaper than an oil change!.
I've never had the steering linkage changed on my 2007 Coupe and the front end response still feels okay to me. I do keep on eye on the steering linkage though and there is wear starting to show on the rubber covers for the knuckle joints. Since these are permanently greased joints, the linkage will need to be replaced in the near future due to knuckle wear. Fortunately, I've got a really good independent M-B repair facility locally and they will do this repair work for me. Owner of the shop used to own an SRT-6 and he told me to bring the Coupe by anytime it needed something done that I didn't want to tackle lying on my back in the driveway. At my age, once I get down, getting back up takes some effort!
