N3 Steering Stabilizer for 1978-1979 Ford F-250 and F-350 4WD

N3 Steering Stabilizer, fitment-checked

Rough Country 87445 is an N3 steering stabilizer for 1978-1979 Ford F-250 4WD and 1979 Ford F-350 4WD trucks. It bolts on with no cutting, uses a chrome-hardened 18mm piston rod, and works to settle bump steer while easing wear on tie rods and ball joints. Rough Country lists the job at roughly 1 hour.

This N3 steering stabilizer fits 1978-1979 Ford F-250 4WD trucks in Base, Custom, Northland, Ranger, Ranger Lariat, and Ranger XLT trim, plus 1979 Ford F-350 4WD Custom, Ranger, Ranger Lariat, and Ranger XLT. The damper mounts with bolt-on hardware, so the factory steering linkage stays as-is. Inside is a chrome-hardened 18mm piston rod, and the intent is steadier steering feel with less bump steer transmitted back through the wheel, which also takes some load off the tie rod ends and ball joints. A downloadable Rough Country installation guide is available; the listed install time is 1 hour.
