Re: 99 ds with fe290 front engine dampener
Theres a piece of steel with a 90 degree bend that attaches to the snubber. On my carryall, that piece is held onto the engine cradle with 2 bolts. I used a jack to support the front, and replaced the snubber in about 10 minutes. I have a 6" lift a d its stayed with no issues, I havent gotten around to making that bolt in piece longer to drop the front of the cradle yet.
The older models, the piece the snubber connects to does not unbolt, it's part of the engine cradle. That may prove to be a bit more challenging...
