Keith Browning Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 TSB 07-10-10 for steering wheel oscillation requires the replacement of the stabilizer on 4X4 models. This stabilizer is an updated design that is bolted to a new mounting bracket at the front crossmember. The part listing shows the following parts: W706196-S439 BOLT W520117-S441 NUT The bolt is supposedly matched to the nut but when ordering the nut listed above I get a nut that looks like the track bar mount nut. It is huge in comparison. I called Ford and they tell me the number is correct. We reordered it and I get the same (incorrect) part. Anybody having the same problem or do I have a mislabeled part issue? I don't think this is the case. I keep using used nuts from junk drawers around the shop. I am clueless and running out of options to resolve this!!! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/scratchhead.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Keith I remember having a issue with that one. Try having your parts guy look it up by application, I think that's how we got the correct nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 So I am not crazy, there IS a problem with the part number? The problem with looking it up by application is that the bolt and nut are for an updated stabilizer that is not on the stock "factory" truck and stabilizer.

LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 They definitely have a problem with the TSB, as for the application the parts list shows the same #'s for the stabilizers as the TSB does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torqued_Up Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 You are going to hate me for this but did it occur to you that the nut on the other end of the shock is the same thread? N620483.S301 is the part number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 I ordered one. We looked at the parts listing again and it looks good! What threw us off was the bolt being shown on that end where in reality its a stud mounted in the stabilizer. Here's a picture of the mis-matched parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin phillips Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 i had the parts guy order two sets of the larger nuts trying to figure it out then i just used an old nut from the original mounting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 GEE I DON'T WANT TO SOUND LIKE A GLOATER BUT I THOUGHT I SAID TO ORDER THE ORIGINAL NUTS TO BEGIN WITH The original nut works just fine. But I'm glad everybody see's what I said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 I got a call from Ford today. They reviewed my feedback I provided in my survey to the HotLine and checked into it. When they changed the parts for the TSB somehow the wrong part number got put in there. The TSB is being changed to correct the part number. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif I bring this up, not as an atta-boy for me but to point out that "they" really do read our comments and feedback.

Keith Browning Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 How amusing is it that Ford still has not corrected this TSB to change the part number? It has been four months. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/hahaha.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/ford.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 A reminder call is in line here Keith...Keep on them with this one, I,m sure that there are plenty of dealers with the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
