A new steering damper will only 'mask' a problem 'maybe'.

It will 'not' fix the slop that is allowing the death wobble.

If there wasn't something broken or about to break or really worn or
'really' out of adjustment, you wouldn't get the 'death wobble'.

I recently found out my steering damper is only an empty tube,
literally, and has been since I bought it way back in the 90's. I
haven't had the death wobble since I rebuilt the front end with new
parts back in 2000.

Well I replaced a lower control arm bracket on the front axle on the
right side a few weeks ago it did help some but the death wobble is
still there
