Description
Part number 985-02-132 is a FOX® 2.0 Performance Series TS (Through Shaft) steering stabilizer with 8.1 in. of travel and a 1-1/8 in. tie rod clamp, engineered for the 2017-2023 Ford F-250 Super Duty and 2017-2023 Ford F-350 Super Duty, both 4WD.
IMPORTANT: This stabilizer requires a drop bracket for any lift greater than 1.5 in. Fitment covers 2017-2023 Ford F-250 Super Duty (all trims, 4WD) and 2017-2023 Ford F-350 Super Duty (King Ranch, Lariat, Platinum, XL, and XLT trims for 2017-2023; Limited trim for 2018-2023), all 4WD. This stabilizer includes application-specific mounting hardware sized for a 1-1/8 in. tie rod — confirm your tie rod diameter and lift height before ordering, as FOX offers this Performance Series 2.0 TS Stabilizer in multiple clamp sizes for different tie rod diameters.
With conventional steering stabilizers, turning in one direction increases pressure inside the stabilizer as the shaft occupies more volume in the body and displaces oil, creating a push or pull steering force as the stabilizer tries to return to neutral. Dual opposing stabilizers are often used to counter this, but that requires additional mounting hardware and space.
Derived from the original FOX® ATS stabilizer, the Performance Series 2.0 Stabilizer TS uses a Through Shaft (TS) architecture that eliminates shaft fluid displacement across the stabilizer’s entire travel in both directions. By eliminating fluid displacement, the TS design delivers neutral, consistent damping of unwanted steering feedback in a single, bolt-on stabilizer.
The stabilizer’s 2.0 in. impact-extruded and CNC-machined 6061-T6 clear-anodized aluminum one-piece body resists rust over time, and components are black-anodized, CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum. A 5/8 in. hard chrome-plated, heat-treated alloy steel shaft and a redundant sealing pack (main seal, wiper seal, scraper seal) support long service life. FOX backs this stabilizer with a limited lifetime warranty.
