Hello all!
Well, long story short I am going to be redoing my front ball joints, followed by the installation of a Bilstein 5100 Series steering damper. This should be an easy installation, but I am stumped.. Mostly because the guy who owned the truck before me removed one of the steering damper brackets..
Now, if the example photo attached correctly, it will show your 2 connection points for the damper. The connection point on your left when looking at the photo I have (I don't have a bolt or anything for it.. Do I need one, or does that come with a damper??), but the second connection point on the tie rod I don't have. I have looked online for that second bracket, with crumby luck.
I found the following (Bracket I need is part #11 on diagram): https://www.bluespringsfordparts.com/2000-ford-f-250-super-duty-parts.html
I was unable to tell from the website if the bracket comes with the needed bolts or not, which makes it all very confusing.
Is anyone able to lead me in the direction of both new brackets with needed hardware (bolts, nuts, etc.)? If not, do you think if I called the dealership they would be able to supply me with both of these brackets and hardware?
Thanks in advance.. This is really starting to confuse and tick me off if you can't tell lol
