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. Review: Works great on a 2017 - 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. ## Features - Package Dimensions: 26 L x 2.5 H x 2.5 W (inches).Material:Aluminum - Package Weight - Country of Origin : United States - Part number: 985-24-001. 7 pounds.

They changed the design on 17’ models and up. So not about earlier models. I would measure collapsed and extended lengths of piston to verify compatibility. **Q: Will this fit a 2008 F450 4x4?** A: If you searched by your vehicle, it should. I replaced the steering damper on my 2017 F350 and I noticed a big difference in steering. Good luck. **Q: Will this fit my 1999 jeep xj?** A: I do not know. I would look on the Fox website and compare part numbers. Mine fit perfect on a 2019 F-250 Lariat 4X4 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solution for Death Wobble *by W***N on April 10, 2020* 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.

I knew then that most likely meant it had death wobble(DW) issue before. I was right! At 16K miles I had my first event and then about 4 times a week. The truck had a heavy Ranch Hand type bumper on it so I decided to put a 3" leveling kit on with lowering brackets for Sway bar and Track bar. That changed the speeds (70+) when the DW would occur and after alignment it lowered it to happen as slow as 55mph. With so few miles on the truck I knew it couldn't be the ball joints, tie rod end, bushing etc... So I bought/installed the FOX 985-24-001 Steering Stabilizer-(7.1 lbs not the 4 lbs like most of the other units) and have had NO DW what so ever since. The stabilizer has even made the truck feel like it has better than stock handling and it soaks up the bumps and washboard great! IF you have DW give this Fox unit a try! ## Frequently Bought Together - FOX 985-24-001 Steering Stabilizer - Fox 2.0 Performance Series Shocks Set for 2017-2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4WD - BDS Fox Shocks 2.0 Dual Steering Stabilizer Kit for 2005-2022 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty 4WD with 2 Inch Lift or More | Includes Damper Bracket Mounting Kit and TrendsAuto Decal | 98224010 55380 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/38457538-fox-985-24-001-steering-stabilizer](https://www.desertcart.be/products/38457538-fox-985-24-001-steering-stabilizer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
