This may be a really stupid question but this has bugged me for years and a finally remembered it while I was on the forums to ask. I don't have a picture off hand of it but if you look in the wheel well on the drivers side of my truck it looks like there is a small shock there besides for the normal shock. It is only about a foot long max and I'm not sure what it actually does. It is more towards the front of the well. Looks more like a liftgate or a hood strut.

 

I think I saw this somewhere else. It's like a motor mount shock or something like that.

 

Good! At least I'm not the only one who see'e this.

 

i think i saw it the other day does it have a little rubber thing on it i changed my trie and saw it and it was really loose but then i realized that it was because i had the frame jacked up doh.

 

Yeah, it's a shock for the motor mount. I asked the same question when i was at Jasons (chevyslayer925) place changing my break pads. I bet yours isnt as rusted as mine!

 

yep....i've seen it on a 4.0L OHV and was wondering the samething....wtf is that!?? lol.

 

Which is weird Shane, because if I'm thinking correctly, Jason has a 2000 w/ the 4.0 OHV, and he doesn't have one on his truck....

 

idkn.

 

That Was Fords Way To Make Less Vibration But It Dont Work I Took Mine Of Becus It Was All Rusty You Cant Find Them Any Wher

 

Some Cam With Them And Some Didnt

 

Don't think mine does anything either. it's not rusting or hurting anything so it's staying put until I break it. Thanks for the replies.

 

For fun, someone want to post a pick for us guys that don't even have a 6 cyl?

 

JT or John would have to post one, my dad has the truck to remodel the bathrooms in our house.....otherwise I'd post one. Sorry.

 

I'll get one tonight. I still have to take pics of the truck without the pinstripes so this will give me a larger excuse to go to the garage tonight and have a few beers.
To bad the Phils aren't playing.

 

i wanna see this engine shock!

 

My 93 has it, give me a sec and I will get a pic.
