Don't replace a steering damper to "fix" a steering fault. That's not what they are for and only mask the problem. Fix the problem.
Possible causes of the problem.
Swivel pin preload is too light.
Loose/worn hub bearings.
Worn suspension bushings.
Worn tires.

Were would the swivel pin preload be located. I found the ABS sensor right on top but no luck on finding the swivel pin.

OK after I calmed down some and I pulled out the RAVE book it turners out the damn abs sensor and the swivel pin are all in the same unit. So it looks like I will remove some shims and see how it works.
