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

About this part

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.
