5100 Series Front Steering Damper fits 1999 2004 F250 F350 Super Duty 4WD | 24-158848

Great product and perfect fit for my 2002 F250 4x4, made a big difference over the worn out oem part. Easy installation and improved handling.

I keep saying these things are so expensive, but continue to hear they are worth it. I purchased the Bilstein Steering stabilizer for my Ford Excursion. It seems to be doing a good job for the past week. All the other brands I have tried in the past always end up leaking after a year. Some of the reviews for this stabilizer complain that it's is pressurized and causes there vehicle to drift to the left. It is pressurized coming out of the box. For my application, this made no difference in where the truck wanted to go. Straight down the road with no problems. I have passed over the Bilstein in the past for my vehicles just due to the cost. A few months ago I installed front and rear on a Ford Ranger, they made such a difference on that little truck. When my Ford Excursion needed new shocks the Bilsteins were contenders. The cost is high, but the performance is worth it. Keeping a 9500lb. vehicle in check is a quite a chore for any shock. If your on the fence, get this brand.

Great replacement steering damper for my 2001 Ford Diesel Excursion. Fit great, works great. Only slight negative is it does slightly push out, due to it's internal pressure...... so if you let go of the steering wheel it would eventually steer you to the left. Like I said, it is very slight (but there). I would definitely buy another on if the need ever arises. My truck is lifted five inches and I'm running larger than stock tires. The steering feels tight, with no hint of bump steer, death wobble, or anything else.

Put this on a 2001 F350 with a 2” leveling kit and 35” tires. Steering is great with this. No issues.

Arrived on time and looks to be in pretty decent condition. Don't know how well it works as the package it arrived in was completely beat up, box open on both ends and split 33% of the way down one seam. The damper looks to be undamaged but is missing the nut and washer. Now if only I could figure out how to get a replacement nut and washer without returning the whole thing. I expect it to work as well as the shocks that also arrived in beat up and open boxes but fortunately had no loose parts to get lost in transit. 2/6/2014, damper was unaffected by poor packaging and handling. Could not get missing parts without returning everything. Went to local Fastenal and picked up nut and washer. Damper has been working very well since install 6 months ago. Would recommend Bilstein products for most applications. Resolved the great majority of bump steer encountered with the OEM damper, truck still wanders a little but barely noticeable.

Fit was good and so far works great.

Big improvement in the steering on my F-350 Super Duty. Old one was worn out.

Super easy to install. Comes with instructions including what length your bracket has to be at for it to fit appropriately. Stock bracket is required. Be SURE to measure from the right spot! I have attached a picture. In the instructions I don't think the picture is quite clear enough and it may seem like you measure from the dimple closest to the passenger tire. Don't do that. Measure from where my picture shows. If you install and are getting popping noises when turning your measurement for the bracket is off. I made the mistake so you don't have to! My clevis was bent and wouldn't allow the new stabalizer to even begin to seat in there. Pair of vice grips and a really big bar allowed me to open the clevis up enough to get the new stabalizer end in there. Picture attached with how I did that if you happen to run into the same issue.

Bought this for my 2001 f350 7.3l along with the Rancho RS5542 Steering Stabilizer Bracket Kit because my truck for some reason did not have a bracket. Truck steering was super sloppy thought about buying a new steering box bit thought I would try this first, and wow noticeable truck doesn't wonder anymore and no bump steer love it. Would recommend

Quality piece that works very well and fit perfectly. I have always been pleased with Bilstein products.

Works great it’s Bilstein they always make a great product as normal

I ordered this to replace the same damper that was already on my '04 F350 while troubleshooting some issues. Ended up the damper on the truck was still in good working order. I don't know when it was installed but it looked like it had been on there for quite a while, so it must be a well made part!

2000 f350. Made it whole new truck to drive. Front end was tight but still wandered around. This made it a whole lot better.
