I know this is a dumb question, but last night I was under my truck and I noticed that this thing on my front drivers side wheel is not attached to anything. The same thing on the front passenger wheel is attached to a rod that is attached to the steering damper. As many times as I have been under my truck, I've never noticed this thing. Is it supposed to be this way or have I broken something off? Here is pic, I put pink arrows to point at the "thing" I am asking about. Thanks in advance, Jamie  | ||

Jamie, that is for foreign markets with RHD. I'm probably going to cut mine off since for us it serves no purpose. | ||

Just don't cut off the wrong end | ||

Maybe I'm missing something here, but why not just leave it? Seems like the cut will always present a source of corrosion problems, although I could be wrong. Is there a reason to not just leave it on the truck? | ||

If you notice, you can see how the connections could be switched to convert the steering to right hand drive. Easy switch under there...but not inside of course. I remember the first time I noticed that...like "wait a minute...Oh!" | ||

Greg - don't cut it off - Us D1 guys have to go out and buy the damn RHD market swivel housing to convert to crossover steering (if you ever wanted to do that) Bill | ||

Yeah, I've talked with John about that before. But with my other mods (diff guard, relocated stabilizer, etc.), I prefer to keep mine behind the axle. As far as why, it's a potential rock catcher. | ||

You must be all caught up in the bumper factory and looking for something else to do then. LOL | ||
