That's great to know, Dave. But what the @#%# is a "damper boss?" Is
that when your supervisor is wetter than my supervisor? But seriously, I
recently had my steering rack apart and don't recall anything that looked
like a damper boss and I don't recall any reference to such an animal in
the manual.
I do have a little freeplay on one side of my rack where the round
dohickey screws onto the rack itself (how much you want to bet that
_dohickey_ is in the manual). Horst Schach's book tells me to unscrew it
and then use some emery paper on a flat surface to get it to fit closer.
Unfortunately, I couldn't even get the blessed thing off to do the emery
paper deal. Is the damper boss related to that?
