After breaking my previous one, I decided to purchase this one. The installation went smoothly, but at highway speeds, I'm experiencing death wobble (a severe violent shaking of the entire truck). After doing some research, I discovered that the OEM damper (as well as some other adjustable fox and bilstein dampers) is of much higher quality than these low-cost aftermarket dampers. ranchos at the end If your truck has stock suspension, tires, and other components, this damper will most likely suffice; however, if you have a leveling kit, as I do, spend the extra $50 and get OEM (Mopar part 52106909AE).

On a 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4, the steering damper had to be replaced. When I broke the ball joint on the front right tie rod, the rod jammed into the wheel, bending the stock on the truck. anyway - Fitting and mounting is simple. The conical wedge-shaped bolt (which mounts to a tie rod) was included in the package. I had to mount it to the frame with an old nut bolt from the stock stabilizer.

This is what I installed on my 2003 Ford Excursion with 230k miles. In order for the factory washer to fit in the Ford OEM bracket, I had to Dremel it off. Because the tube is a larger diameter than the Ford OEM one and it touches the bracket at the hub end, I had to use some thick double sided tape there. Aside from those two issues, the installation was straightforward, and the truck performs as if it were brand new!.
The only issue was removing the original factory one, which I did not want to do because I did not want to leave my truck, but it is now gone, and the new one is much better. now.
This product appeared to be good out of the box, but it was missing a bushing sleeve, and I've only had it for two months, and it's already worn out. I'll have to go back and buy a regular Monro, which should last me for years.
The third generation Ram 1500 (2002-2006) will not fit. 2005).
In my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500, it worked perfectly. It was a little stiffer than I expected, but that's probably due to the fact that it's a 3/4-ton truck. For the money, it's a good deal!.
