Fitment, Shipping & Product Support
The Fox 2.0 Performance Series TS Steering Stabilizer (SKU 985-02-132) is engineered for 2017–2022 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty 4WD trucks. Reduces steering shimmy, absorbs road feedback, and improves straight-line stability under towing, hauling, and off-road conditions. The Through-Shaft (TS) design, derived from Fox's original ATS stabilizer, eliminates shaft fluid displacement throughout the stabilizer's entire travel in both directions — delivering neutral, consistent damping instead of the directional push/pull force conventional single-ended stabilizers create. 2" impact-extruded, CNC-machined 6061-T6 clear-anodized aluminum body resists rust. Internal Floating Piston (IFP) mono-tube design separates shock oil from high-pressure nitrogen. Black-anodized CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum components. Eyelet top mount, 1-1/8" tie rod clamp bottom mount. 8.19" stroke. 4WD only — does not fit 2WD Super Duty.

Critical Compatibility
| Configuration | Notes |
|---|---|
| 2WD Super Duty | Not compatible — no front steering linkage to stabilize |
| 2008–2016 Super Duty | Does not fit — order Fox 985-02-129 instead |
| Aftermarket drag link or tie rod | Confirm tie rod clamp compatibility before ordering — some aftermarket drag links require a separate adapter kit |
| Worn tie rod ends, ball joints, or wheel bearings | A stabilizer reduces shimmy symptoms but does not correct underlying causes — inspect and repair worn components for best results |
| Misaligned front end | A stabilizer will not correct misalignment-induced pull or wander — verify alignment is within spec before installation |
Common Questions
Does this fit my 2024 F-350?
Not confirmed. Available sourcing converges on 2017-2022 for this exact part number. Confirm directly with us before ordering for a 2023 or newer Super Duty.
Will this work with my aftermarket drag link?
Confirm before ordering. This stabilizer uses a 1-1/8" tie rod clamp at the bottom mount. Some aftermarket drag links require a separate adapter kit for proper fit.
Will this fix my steering shimmy completely?
A steering stabilizer reduces shimmy symptoms but doesn't address the underlying cause. Worn tie rod ends, ball joints, wheel bearings, or improper alignment should be inspected and corrected for the best result — especially before or alongside installing this stabilizer.
Does this fit 2WD Super Duty?
No. 2WD trucks don't have the front steering linkage geometry this stabilizer is designed to dampen.
The Obsidian Take
The 985-02-132 is for the 2017-2022 F-250/F-350 Super Duty 4WD owner experiencing steering shimmy — especially with 35"+ tires or under towing load — who wants Fox's through-shaft design to eliminate the directional push/pull feel of a conventional stabilizer.
Two things to confirm before ordering. First, this stabilizer doesn't fix the root cause of shimmy — inspect tie rod ends, ball joints, and alignment first. Second, if you've installed an aftermarket drag link, confirm tie rod clamp compatibility before assuming this bolts on directly.
Non-Returnable Notice: Once installed, this unit is non-returnable. Confirm drivetrain, model year, and tie rod/drag link compatibility before ordering.
