This steering stabilizer is so much better than the original parts. The original part only lasts about 5k miles and the replacement should last much longer. A note, if you decide to replace this yourself, you should have a pickle fork. You will need it.

1 year later my truck still steers and brakes fantastic , this stabilizer made all the difference . 2015 f350

Installed on a 2015 F350 6.7 powerstroke. Literally made a huge difference in steering driving. It is definitely Worth investing in a good steering damper. I drove with just the dual stabilizer I bought obviosuly separate and adding the original damper location changed the whole truck. If you own a superduty please invest in good steering components!

Received my stabilizer and everything was good. All mounting hardware included. I put it on my 2017 f250 with no issues, basically a direct replacement for the stock on. I have a Carli Back Country level installed so the the rose great. I installed this because I would have the slightest bump steer some times. The install was very easy, used a puller to get the stock one off. The steering on my truck is tighter than it was and the steering wheel doesn’t move going over bumps. I have not checked or adjusted the pressure, just put it on and drive. Very happy with the stabilizer and would recommend. If you are having issues with the front end I don’t know if this would solve them. But if the front end is in good shape this is a great addition.

Despite not being listed as a compatible part for the 2018 F250, I can confirm that the part fits perfectly and is a direct replacement for the factory fitted steering stabilizer. The mounting hardware is fully compatible and the stabilizer itself has enough travel to accommodate the full range of steering motion from lock to lock.
Our F250 began exhibiting occasional “death wobbles” at around 50k miles, and it steadily became more frequent until it was a big enough problem to make the truck feel unsafe at highway speeds. I checked all front-end components but did not find anything that was loose or excessively worn. The tires were stock, maintained at proper pressures, and recently balanced. After taking it to an alignment shop and being told that only the toe was slightly out of spec, with the front end already having around 3° of caster on each side, the only remaining suspect was the steering stabilizer.
I thought about fitting a dual-stabilizer kit but the main issues were cost and the fact that many of them require at least a 2 inch lift kit installed. So I decided to try this Fox stabilizer first before potentially spending a lot more money. The install was a breeze, and required no special tools aside from a ball joint separator. The Fox stabilizer is gas-charged from the factory so it has the tendancy to expand unless you hold it in place. I decided to release the gas to avoid any possible side effects of the steering pulling to one side, all I had to do was unscrew the small cap on the gas port and depress the pin.
The steering felt more or less the same after installation, but now when driving over bumps or rough patches on the highway the front end no longer develops the “death wobble” even after around 6000 miles so far. Due to the suspension geometry of these trucks, bump steer is unavoidable and can only be mitigated using upgraded steering stabilizers. I can tell when I hit a large enough bump that the steering still experiences a sudden movement, but any oscillating motion almost instantly goes away, hence the lack of the “death wobble” phenomenon.
I would highly recommend this Fox stabilizer to other F250 owners out there. The “death wobble” is no joke and this could literally be a life-saver one day. In my opinion the factory fitted stabilizer is inadequate for this application, and should be upgraded as soon as possible.

So I would get the dreaded “death wobble” on a weekly basis while traveling on the interstate for work. Would hit bumps in road and there is goes…….entire truck wobbling and shaking violently like it had a seizure or something. After this happened multiple times I was so frustrated took truck to dealership to look at this and they told me $1900 to fix…..and I’m like “Hell no”, won’t see me. All they would’ve done was change things that didn’t need to be changed. So……after doing my research and my mechanic checked all of my track bars, drag links, ball joints, etc and said all was good and that did not need to be changed, I saw from extensive reading that the steering stabilizer is the culprit of the “death wobble”. So I tried it, changed it within 10 minutes. (key is to soak bolts in wd-40 or any penetrating lube then bang it out with a few wacks with sledge hammer, comes right out as I didn’t use a ball joint press or pickle fork) Since then I’ve driven my truck on every bump in the road where I would get the “death wobble” trying to get an episode and nothing happens. Steering is tighter, rolls right over bumps at 70-80 + mph and nothing, no wobble whatsoever. Truck drives great and I have to get used to that but very happy with this product. Twice the size of OEM Ford part and much stronger for sure for this size truck. I’m glad I did this and do not regret it. I bought a set of tires and shocks and got a wheel alignment just prior to deciding to do this and I’m riding nice right now. If you’re experiencing this “death wobble” don’t hesitate.

Greatly reduces the amount of dead spot in the center of the steering vs the stock stabilizer. Almost no bump steer now vs. stock which was all over the place. I put about 80psi air in the cylinder. You can use this pressure to customize how you want it to drive (steering firmness, reduce bump steer, reduce dead spot). Not that the volume of air it uses is very small, so it’s tricky to get right. To fill mine, I set the regulator on my air compressor to 80 PSI.
Taking off one star as the instructions don’t mention anything about setting the pressure in the cylinder – they are generic instructions that are mostly for suspension shocks. They also don’t provide a decent installation overview.
