Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 65290 SX5000 steering stabilizer is a single-stroke shock designed for the Ford F-250/F-350 4WD (1999–2004). It reduces steering shimmy and improves handling, especially on trucks with larger tires or light-to-moderate lifts.
- Application: Fits 1999–2004 Ford F-250 and F-350 4WD; designed for a straightforward install with the included mounting hardware.
- Single Stabilizer Design: One stabilizer absorbs steering inputs to stabilize the tie-rod action without adding complexity.
- Reduction of Shimmy & Handling: Specifically engineered to dampen steering shimmy and provide more responsive steering feel on rough roads.
- Mounting Configuration: Mounts one end to the axle or frame and the other to the stock tie-rod for easy integration with existing steering geometry.
- Tire Size Guidance: Recommended for vehicles running up to 33" tires, helping manage steering wobble common on larger tire setups.
- Hardware Included: Includes mounting bolts, washers, nuts, and plate; dust boots are available as an option and shock boots are not included.
- Finish & Durability: White powder-coated housing with a robust steel shaft delivers lasting performance in challenging conditions.
This stabilizer is a practical upgrade for drivers seeking steadier, more controlled steering without compromising ride quality. It supports confident highway driving, towing stability, and on-road handling for Ford trucks navigating mixed surfaces.
