I checked a Ford dealership last week. The frame end bracket is NLA. The drag link bracket showed as orderable. I don’t know if they’re actually in stock.
Thanks for the photos and showing possible failure points. I have my stabilizer sitting in a box in the shed with a worn out shock. Time to order a new one and install on my 4th van. Some peeps on the truck forum use a Bilstein damper.
Has anyone here used the Bilstein? It's twice the price of the Ford OEM damper.
One Amazon review posted this review:
"The bottom line is, from what I read, that the stock Motorcraft Steering damper is gas charged in the 40-50 PSI, whereas this Bilstein steering damper is gas charged in the 110 PSI range. Makes perfect sense, and why it pulled so hard to the left. Technically, it is really a "push" to the left, as the Bilstein damper is pushing the tie rod / steering linkage due to the excessive pressure, and the way it is mounted means it can only push to the left."
So, is your point that the Amazon reviewer is saying the Bilstein damper does NOT work well as an E-series steering damper? That the Bilstein damper is too highly pressured and that the original Ford damper works better? Just trying to understand.
