Does anyone know of a steering stabilizer that will work with a 2015-Present F150 4x4? I have been dealing with the pull/drift/wandering issue and have not had good luck with Ford completely fixing it. I also experience some bump steer. Would like to try and see if a steering stabilizer helps (usually fairly inexpensive). None of the normal manufacturers have a model listed for a 2015 - present.

 

 

I have had multiple alignments, program updates and then they changed the entire rack. Nothing made that much of a difference. I then changed my tires and saw the most improvement. 5000 miles later I am starting to see the issues again. It sounds like a stabilizer would help and thought it would be worth a try but can't find anyone that makes one for this model truck

 

stabilizer? these aren't live front axle vehicles....

 

x2 on tires. This weekend I just swapped out my winter 17" wheels and tires for my 20" summers. HUGE difference. Much more planted to the ground. Less wandering and "squishy-ness".

 

Steering stabilizer will not help if you could find one for rack & pinion steering.

 

I wonder if any of your front end components are worn out like tie rods and such. Do you have a lift or level, or oversize tires? Have they checked your steering column, maybe the u joint is shot and causes play?

Does it wonder on all roads or just certain ones? Around here the asphalt gets a nasty groove from all the big trucks and will kick your truck around.

 

Odd-6, i have had the steering problems since new (before doing anything to the truck). I eventually put a 2" leveling kit on the front and just recently put new tires (where I went up in size from 55 to 60).

Silver-Bolt & Chimmike, i hear you about about the rack and pinion, but i see that stabilizers are made for other trucks with rack and pinion or for lifted trucks w/ rack & pinion. I have also seen kits for both types of front drive axles (i guess that is what you referring to when you said live front axles).

I just get too much feed back from the road. At slow speeds on bumpy roads, the steering wheel goes all over the place. At high speeds when i hit a bump it feels kinda dangerous. If rack & pinion is not suppose to have any feed back from the road, than why am i getting feed back?
Since I have same the issues that stabilizers can correct, it seemed like it would have been worth a try since kits were inexpensive. It does not sound like i have the option to buy a kit. Thanks for the response anyway.

 

Running a 2.5 quick lift on my 2016 F150, w/315/70/17 Raptor wheels and tires. Stability suck when running over bumps and holes. Does anyone know how to treat this issue? They don't make your traditional steering stabilizers for rack and pinion steering.

 

Check tire pressure. A good set of rear shocks will help.
