    F350 temporarily decommisioned

    the track bar locates the axle centrally under the vehicle. it allows for verical movement but not lateral. if that weld broke going up or down that curb.. the axle could have shifted laterally and therefore casue the separation of the tie rod end from the center link.

    Question Strange Leak

    ...yea, ive heard of stories from guys on this site that stated upon removing the intercooler, they were able to pour anywhere from 1 to 3 quarts of oil out of the intercooler. im sure mine is the same way because my couplers are soaked in oil.
