where to find engine vibration damper?

niterider · 02-23-2009, 03:13 PM

part number fotz-6f085-a the shock absorber that attaches the engine to the left outside frame rail. it has been discontinued an not on ford parts locator. one dealer told me to take it off and match it up with something at a local parts store. anybody try this? someone on this board wrote that this solved their engine idle vibration.

Go to the WTB (Want to Buy) section of this site and tell folks you want one. It seems a lot of people think they don't need it and take it off.
