Overview
The Fox Racing Shox 2.0 Evolution Series Smooth Body IFP Stabilizer, part number 982-24-941, is a steering stabilizer for vehicles running oversized off-road tires. It reduces the load on the steering components and helps the front tires track straight.
Large knobs and open tread can make a front end wander on and off pavement. Fox pairs its damping technology with this Internal Floating Piston stabilizer to give a comfortable on-road feel and steady handling on rough ground.
Key features
- Internal Floating Piston (IFP) keeps the shock oil apart from the high-pressure, nitrogen-charged gas chamber.
- The floating piston design is intended to prevent oil aeration so the factory-tuned valving performs consistently.
- 5/8 inch alloy steel shock shaft for added strength and rigidity.
- NitroSteel hard-coated shafts resist pitting and scratches that could harm the shaft seals.
- Tuned damping for on-road comfort and off-road control across varied conditions.
- Smooth Body design within the 2.0 Evolution Series line.
Steering stabilizers and tire size
Larger tires with aggressive tread add weight and rotating mass, and that weight changes how the front axle responds to bumps. A steering stabilizer helps absorb those impulses so the steering wheel is less likely to twitch on rough ground. It works alongside the steering linkage rather than replacing it, which is why the rest of the front end still deserves attention.
Choosing a stabilizer means matching stroke and mounting to the space available on your vehicle. Tire changes, lift height and steering geometry can all shift the working range, so measure before buying. After a tire size change or steering upgrade, have the front end checked, since the stabilizer, tie rods and track bar share the load and wear together.
- Measure stroke against your steering layout
- Check tie rods and track bar after tire changes
- Recheck alignment after installation
