F 250 4WD Pickup V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1998)
Torque Rod: Description and Operation
The anti-windup bar compensates for rotational torque placed on the rear axle during acceleration and braking by preventing the rear axle and rear spring
from twisting (winding up).
The anti-windup bar minimizes noise and vibration issues caused by excessive pinion-to-driveshaft angle during acceleration and braking.
