All 1 Known Issues
On the 1999-2025 Ford F-250 Super Duty, the factory steering damper on the F-250 Super Duty wears out and fails, leading to increased steering shimmy, vibration at highway speeds, and reduced ability to dampen road imperfections. The single factory damper is often inadequate for the weight and solid front axle of the Super Duty. A worn damper does not cause death wobble directly but removes the last line of defense against oscillation. Most factory dampers are worn out by 50,000-80,000 miles.
Common Symptoms
- Shimmy or vibration at highway speeds
- Steering feels loose over bumps
- Front end wanders on rough roads
- Visible oil leaking from damper
- Increased effort to keep truck centered in lane
How to Fix
Replace the steering damper with a heavy-duty aftermarket unit. Fox 2.0 ($150-250), Bilstein 5100 ($100-150), or Rancho RS9000XL ($100-150) are popular upgrades. Some owners install dual steering damper kits ($200-400) for additional stability. Installation is a simple bolt-on job taking 30-60 minutes. Replace the damper every 50,000-60,000 miles as preventive maintenance.
