steering dampner missing?

I have a 2001 F-250 4X4 superduty. Did they all come from the factory with a steering dampner. Mine doesn't have one on it and I was wondering if it should. Thanks for any help.

The plow package has the damper, I think all the sd come with the bracket on the truck.

Thanks for the quick answer, I see that mine does have the bracket. Decided I'll order one and install it, thanks again.

Yup, my '99 250 SD "Off Road" came with one. I guess it still works?

I would highly recommend a steering stabilizer to anyone that doesn't have one. My truck didn't come with one and after the second large pothole I hit going 45-50 on a road with a slight curve in it, I ordered a Rancho one and wouldn't drive my truck without one now.

Make sure you order the one with the brackets that mount to the tie rod and not just the replacement shock.
