Removal and Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Ford Pickup, 2006 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2006 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2006 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to JACKING & LIFTING .
  2. Remove the steering linkage damper nut and separate the steering linkage damper from the drag link.
    • To install, tighten to 90 Nm (67 lb-ft).
  3. Remove the steering linkage damper-to-bracket nut and the steering linkage damper.
    • To install, tighten to 35 Nm (26 lb-ft).
    4. NOTE: When repairing the steering linkage clean the steering linkage damper shaft of all corrosion and dirt. Buff the damper shaft smooth. Repairing the linkage changes the damper travel slightly. A dirty/corroded shaft can damage the damper seal and create a leak.
