2005 Superduty: Steering Stabilizer leaking

Take a minute and see if there is oil dripping off of the steering stabilizer on your truck. The oil is clear and it's obvious that nothing above the stabilizer is dripping oil At 2000 miles, mine started leaving small puddles on the ground. I am wondering if mine is a fluke or if this is a common problem. The dealer had a hard time finding a replacement and that makes me think this is a common problem.

It could have been damaged during shiping or the shaft iseal is just leaking. Just take it in to the dealer and have them replace it, it should be under warrenty if there is no visable damage. If it is damaged, like you hit a stump, as my friend did, go to the parts store and ask for a steering stablizer, cost about $35.
