I'm still trying to find this silly elusive **** for my '99. Anyone parting out? Or know anyone else that might be likely to have one of these??? I just can't bring myself to pay Ford $85 for it!

Ford says part number is yl3z1561199ba.

Here's a couple pics, including one of the broken ****, and one of the other side's intact ****. Really appreciate any help out there to find this!!! Thanks,

 

Enduroman read my first post real closely and then as you scroll down you will see it appears that original star shaped **** is no longer available. You gotta use the later oem version or an aftermarket version with the later style shorter recline handle.

Thanks for the info SS. Your original post is very informative.
I was hoping someone out there had the same lumbar **** from a truck/seat they might be parting out.
Now that I think about it, and after re-reading your post, I recall Ford telling me (and it was over a year ago) that I had to buy a kit with a few parts in it. I remember arguing that I only need the lumbar **** - to no avail. I bet the 'kit' includes the shorter recline handle too.
I might let this post float on the forum for another week or so, hoping someone has my ****, and then I'll just go down to the dealer and bend over.

My truck is in great shape, and when the day comes to sell it, that missing **** will really stand out.
Thanks again
