After our Pikes Peak dinner with Scott Justusson suggesting this V8
steering damper upgrade for the 5000/200TQ's, I found a used Audi V8
steering damper and mounting bolt/spacer at my local wrecking yard for
free. Of course the damper was dead, but after seeing the recent post
about the VW Fox part, I picked one up at my local parts house. I
compared it to the V8 part and it was about the same length when
compressed and extended. I bolted it up last night on my 89 200TQ, and
it works great. 

I threw up a quick section on my web site listing the part numbers etc.

Thanks for the tip Scott J.! It improves the steering feel when driving
on rough/grooved roads.
