MKIII un-love... - Page 5

If the damper's shot it's just a weight that's going to make your steering responsiveness more sluggish. On smooth roads you aren't going to notice anything. On bumps which affect both sides.... not much. A big pot hole under one wheel (with it in place) and you're not swinging into a curb though... that's the difference.

I unerstand that. That is its intended purpose but for 300$ i really cant afford to replace it. And in florida pot holes aint as bad as up north, and i hope never to meet the curb in such an occasion

I love my Ron Burgundy interior! F-YA! Well its kind of a pinkish dull-ish purple in many areas now but it screams 80's and matches the faded black ruby pearl paint perfectly.
The list (in op) would be alot longer for many other cars.
I've driven U Hauls with better steering but I always enjoy driving my supra.

It is worth noting that I believe even the non-PPS MKIII's from '89 onward no longer use the damper. I know PPS models do not use it.
