Product Details

Bilstein’s B8 5100 steering damper line is built to replace the factory unit with a direct-fit steering control component that helps calm steering vibration and reduce minute wheel movement. This part number 24-158930 uses a monotube design and zinc-plated finish, making it a practical choice for front-end service on heavy-duty trucks and SUVs. It is a Bilstein Shock Absorbers product from the B8 5100 (Steering Damper) series, engineered to match the rest of the B8 5100 lineup.

Compatible With 1999-2009 Ford F-250 Super Duty, front; 1999-2009 Ford F-350 Super Duty, front; and 2000-2005 Ford Excursion, front. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Bilstein 24-158930 is a fitment-focused option for drivers searching for a Ford F-250 Super Duty steering damper, Ford F-350 Super Duty front steering damper, or Ford Excursion steering stabilizer replacement.

What It Helps Address

• Steering wheel vibration on rough roads
• Small, repeated steering corrections at speed
• Front-end shimmy caused by worn factory damping
• Reduced steering comfort in older trucks and SUVs
• Need for a direct replacement steering damper on compatible Ford applications
