DAMPER, Steering: Removal: Damper

NOTE: Some early built right hand drive vehicles may have a damper with the mounting stud on the damper instead of on the bracket. If the mounting stud is on the damper, the damper and link bracket must be replaced as a kit, and the replacement damper will be different.

NOTE: Left hand drive shown in the illustration, right hand drive similar.
