Don is right, the dampers don't last all that long, especially the new ones,
the rubber bushing they go thru on the steering arm is also a problem
sometimes, and needs to be quite tight.

You need to undo one end of the damper to check it. It is a type of
double action shock absorber, it should be hard to move both in and
out. If it moves easily, that is your problem. Find a new one in a
store to examine, and you will see how stiff it is supposed to be.
A worn out steering damper will always produce exactly the symptoms
you describe.
