I certainly get a lot of information from the forum. Thanks to all. I am also a bit of a McGiver and do not often ask for help. My Shrink says I should work on that, so here it is. I won the steering control damper at DuQuoin. I have stared at it for over a half year now. The original damper in my 403 77 Palm Beach is toast. Dave Lenzi is out of town.Thanks Dave for donating the part. I know one end mounts to the tie rod, probably the smaller end, to allow for clearance to the final drive housing. The only place I see attaching the other end is a hole in the bracket that is part of the front right lower control arm bushing bracket. Does anyone out there have one of these and thoughts about where to mount the right end. The box I won only contained the angle and u bolts for the tie rod. Thanks, Michael Schultz

When you figure that out, I have one that I'll sell for $150 less than Lenzi
sells them for. I bought it from Dave and never had the opportunity to
install it. It is the ultimate in steering damping and blowout/flat
control. All attachments are hand machined and Dave is quite explicit on
installation.

Sounds good to me. Find out what Dave Lenzi sells them for and I'll make
good on my word.

Maybe an answer to your question is in order. The "body" end of the stabilizer attaches to a welded bracket on the front of the crossmember approximately on vehicle centerline. That bolt is vertical. The shaft end of the damper attaches to a bracket on the drivers side that is bolted to the relay rod. That bolt is also vertical.

Nope! I have two vehicle restorations in progress and am in the process of
getting another year older. I do not need another project. I am slowly but
steadily rounding up all my GMC parts and getting rid of them.
But you knew this, didn't you Gene?

More research, this grey steering control damper is a safe T Plus and the box was packed in 2003. No wonder some of the parts were missing and little is known about it.
