steering damper

I was under the truck changing the oil and was looking at my steering damper and noticed the damn thing is bent to all hell probably why my steering is so damned hard. Does anybody have one laying around due to an upgrade that they would want to sale or is their somewhere to buy one for cheap?

Thanks

Macbar

I have a Rancho one that I am getting ready to swap out with a new one. The only thing wrong with it is a dent in the cylinder. It still works fine though. The only reason I am going to swap it out is because the dent is unsightly to me. It's about a quarter of an inch deep and as big around as a quarter.

If you want it, it's yours. No charge.

I was planning on swapping them out this Saturday.

Yeah, I ususally use a paint brush around parts like that but I was being lazy. You see the end result of that....
