SUSPENSION - FRONT STABILITY BAR MAY BREAK OFF - VEHICLES BUILT FROM 1/1/1998

FORD: 
1999 SUPER DUTY F SERIES

ISSUE
The front stability bracket on the front axle may break off due to impact with a solid object or from fatigue.

ACTION
Install a revised bracket. On vehicles built before 3/21/1999, install a new stability bar bracket which will raise the bar approximately 25 mm (1"). This
will reduce the possibility of breakage. Refer to the Service Procedure for details.
