i have a 2nd gen, do we have steering dampers?
also how do we know when they need replacing and are they expensive?

I wouldn't say it's a "skinny" shock, mine was at least the same diameter, and much longer.

Quite easy to get to, just lay under truck and look up, it's about 21\2 feet long and attatched to the steering bar thingy. ( technical term)
