Tie rods (ball joints)
bushings shot

if all looks good, usually not enough pre-load on swivel pin bearings

servicing them is in the rave manual - do them right and you'll never do them again, probably.

It will not be the steering damper, that's only there to protect your thumbs while off-roading.

luck,greg

Take it to a suspension shop for a free inspection.

Holy crap. If I got my beloved Disco up to 105 it would disintegrate around me and they would find me on the highway in the drivers seat holding a steering wheel.

Hard to pass inspection sitting in jail for reckless driving and endangerment.
