This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products DS80797 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Front-end wandering or loose steering feel
• Clunking or shifting from worn track bar bushings
• Axle-side movement caused by a fatigued OE bar
• Uneven suspension response after bushing wear
• Replacement needs after corrosion or structural wear

Installation Notes

Verify front suspension fitment by year, model, and the 21.5 mm eyelet-hole specification before installation. Inspect related bushings and mounting points for wear, and confirm the replacement bar is aligned to the original mounting geometry. Because this is a non-adjustable track bar, correct vehicle application is important for proper fit.

Dorman designs this track bar as a direct OE-style replacement and subjects it to testing for reliable service on the specified Ford applications. The steel construction, powder-coated finish, and included bushings support consistent replacement quality for Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ford F-350 Super Duty, and Ford Excursion front suspension service.
