Bilstein B8 5100 Steering Stabilizer — 24-286558
Direct-fit upgrade for 2017–2026 Ford F-250 / F-350 Super Duty 4WD, including 6.7L Powerstroke.

Tighten up Super Duty steering with a factory-style replacement that actually controls the front end. The Bilstein 24-286558 B8 5100 steering damper is built to cut wheel hop, death wobble, and the constant vibration that shows up after larger tires, a lift, or high miles. It bolts to the OEM mounts—no extra brackets—and uses the same 46mm monotube, high-pressure gas design as Bilstein’s 5100 shocks.

Why it matters on a 6.7 Powerstroke

Factory dampers fade, leak, and struggle once you add weight, 35s+, or long highway miles. This unit damps small steering movements before they turn into shimmy, wander, or extra wear on the box, linkage, and tires. Drivers typically notice a tighter, more predictable feel on the highway, at the job site, and on washboard roads.

• 46mm monotube body for consistent damping and better heat control
