Steering damper question

[skip49]

Concerning the little dampers on each steering lever of my mower(XDX), is it possible that the rod could just unscrew itself from the knuckle at the front, as opposed to it being broken?
Very low hours, and while I haven’t accessed the damper yet, I can see the threaded end of the rod just hanging loose, and I don’t see any damage at all.
So is it possible that it just unscrewed itself?
Thanks,
Skip

I guess that it’s possible. However, it’s unlikely.
Is your machine under warranty? If so, have it seen about.
