I've got an E150 that occasionally shimmies badly under braking...
I am wondering if a stering damper might help. Anyone know of a
manufacturer that would provide an add-on kit for steering dampers?
Thanks,

Unfortunately, no one seems to make the fittings for a 2000 E150.... It
has coil springs and A-Frame suspension, so they tell me....
It doesn't look that difficult to add one; I've looked at the linkage
and shouldn't be that hard to add one if you can get the correct
adapters....
There would have to be a clamp that goes around the steering linkage and
a plate that mounts to the frame.... Doesn't seem that difficult....
Oh well, I may just buy one and see if I can fab up the adapters...

Don't do it, fix the brakes instead.
Warped rotors?
