Review on 🔧 Enhance Steering Control with Rancho RS5000 RS5413 Steering Damper by David Dortch

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy install with little effort and sweat

I have a 2006 Ford F-350, 4WD, SRW. The item was fairly easy to assemble. I made sure to lubricate all the nuts with spray lube a few days beforehand. The standard stabilizer came off with moderate force. The socket end came off easier. The opposite end had to be driven a little with children's sleds. Hold on and let's get started. You will notice that the product does not come with any official installation instructions. All it has are some nut torque specs. I checked their website and couldn't download any. I contacted Rancho over the phone and was told they had no instructions other than the ones provided. They offered to follow the factory's instructions. The only thing they told me was to tighten the nut on the end of the bushings until the bushings are as wide as the lock washers surrounding them. On the same end I also replace the standard nut with a lock nut. I took a few photos with my phone before deleting it just in case. However, once I started working on removing it and took it off, I really didn't need the photos. It all made sense. In general, the installation took between 45 minutes and an hour. I haven't ridden it that far, so I can't comment on performance. I hope for the best.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
