Steering Wheel shake (towing)
Hey guys, 1st super duty and I'm currently driving north with my 7x23 inline enclosed sled trailer in tow. Holy steering wheel shake batmat! What's up with that? I'm 100% stock. No lift no level.

How much does the trailer and cargo weigh? What is your tongue weight? Are you using a Weight Distributing Hitch?

There’s quite a bit of discussion on this topic over here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...en-towing.html
i sure hope you figure it out. Mine arrives in two weeks and I was hoping for low drama after my last two new vehicles were manufacturer buybacks.

I was planning to but didn't see one for stock height. I am not leveled or lifted. I'll look some more.

I think I found the fox 2.0 for stock height. Thanks!

I believe the Fox P/N is 985-24-001, and not sure if Bilstein has a 2017 part number yet. I've had good experiences with both of them. There was a recent thread here on the Fox direct replacement stabilizer. I'm currently running a Fox on mine to match my Fox shocks.

Yep, that is the Fox one I found. Do you know will it bold up or do you need brackets? Thanks for your help!

It bolts right up. You may want to use a pitman arm tool to get the old one off though. Spray the fitting that goes through the tie rod with some penetrating oil a couple hours or so before you do it. Makes things go real easy. When installing the new one, leave the shipping strap around it until you are ready to bolt it up. Slip one end in then undo the strap. Then line up the other end.
