    Seems EFS give 3 years /100,000k warranty.
    mine is just out of that warranty period, damn
    TJM want $100-$120 for their one cant see where
    that price is warranted as most others are half that
    price. Maybe paying for the name a bit as well.
    TBH I would have hoped it would last a lot longer
    than what it did. I;ll see whats available on Ebay, lol

    Ok Ive let this slip for a few months . I cant seem to get the old one off
    Stropp suggested to use the jack but the angle is all wrong. Im thinking
    I need a tie rod fork to break the seal,, so to speak, Ive tried a big hammer
    to no avail

    The factory suckers are in tighter than a nun's nasty. We used a lot of heat, bearing pullers and big hammers (use one a dolly to put mass behind bar, use other smaller hammer to smack the sucker) to eventually get it.
    There is no legal cure for STUPID!

    If the standard steering dampers gone to nissan heaven maybe time to replace the std steer link and ball joints also.
    IF IT'S NOT A NISSAN.
    THEN IT'S A COMPROMISE

    When I replaced my original one of some 18 years I don't recall having that much of an issue trying to get it off and I'm no Powerhouse.

    Pretty sure mine is the original one. It's sloppy as and has oil seeping around it. She'll be fine!

    I'd say save your money up for the head problems.
