Default Steering bushing/Damper

hello,

When driving over bumps in the road, I can feel the steering column vibrating, though the steering wheel itself is solid.

Where is the steering damper/bushing located (are there any pictures of it)?

Is this adjustable, can I inspect/tighten the connection?

I've already verified that the suspension/shocks/control arm bushings are fine.

Thanks for any help!

It is attched right on the steering rack, almost in the middle, it looks like a shock

I actually believe that there is a bushing in addition to the damper.
I have never heard of the bushing being replaced on a LS model but I do seem to remember that one of the Aussies had a kit specific to SC models.

Yuschy is right on with the damper description. It is ofcourse oriented parallel to the road surface unlike your 4 struts.
