Steering Stabilizer for 1988 SMB ?

Looking for a steering stabilizer for a 1988 Ford E250, all I found was this Monroe steering stabilizer kit for vehicles with out OE steering stabilizers. Second part on this link:

Any suggestions on making this purchase or a different steering stabilizer kit?

Thank you

Did your van come with a factory steering stabilizer? Does bit have a p/n on it? Can your dealer help with a replacement? how about a quality parts store like NAPA?

Sorry Parkstaff, I deleted your URL that website address is attracting robot spammers. Good luck with your order.

Re: Steering Stabilizer for 1988 SMB ?

I got one with brackets for my 95 2x EB from either JC Whitney or carparts.com (JC Whitney online only site). I just searched for an 88 on jcw.com and did not see one but carparts.com had one for $58 with brackets, seems like good price to me. Adding the stabilizer to my van improved steering feel, but adding rear sway bar made a huge difference in handling.

I copied the link below from carparts:
