When a vehicle has a steering rack they do not use a steering stabilizer. Not that I have seen.

Why? What are you trying to fix or - more to the point - what is it that isn't working the way you believe it should be?

I have zero issues/problems that I am trying to fix or mask. In case of blowouts they become a safety feature and they also makes long drives a lot more relaxing. I installed one on my motorhome and really does make a difference.

You have an electric rack and pinion
There’s no where to add one.
Or I wouldn’t. But I’m sure someone could build it and sell it to you

IFS, electric steering rack. Not sure how a steering damper would work on that or why one would be needed.

It is basically a shock absorber that provides some lane changing resistance. Trucks that track straight benefit- it is less tiring to drive distances, you stay in your lane easier, and in case of a blowout it can mean the difference between coming to a controlled stop and vs shooting across a few lanes of traffic. Not needed but Really appreciated.

Every vehicle will benefit from steering dampers. It may help with Jeep death wobble but that is not what 99% of vehicles who have them use them for.

i think you're looking for something else which does not fit the standard definition of a steering damper.

You would appear to have a unique opportunity, then, to corner the market on steering stabilizers for not only Bronco's but every other vehicle on the road for which nobody else has ever thought it was required. There's a vast untapped market out there just waiting to buy some product they didn't know they needed!
