First repair bill

Owned the car 2 weeks and already or the local dealer $600 for a power steering dampener. Probably could have done it myself but have too many obligations for my time already. I didn't catch the subtle vibration when I picked it up. I have a small warranty from the purchasing sealer but it's a 400 Mike drive and probably a fight to get them to do the work.

It's only a 6 year old car. But the front send is okay. Looks to be the vibration dampener. Funny I had to replace the same part on my r230 at almost the same 48k mile mark.
