No idea what it's called or where to get it other than a dealer or junkyard.

It's probably a non-issue to run without it, it's just backing up the spring coupling, but Ford put it there for some reason so maybe there's something going on at that connection that merits the back-up.

That is just a clamp to hold the coupler together. You're sure it's broken? I don't see anything missing.

I concur.....or Dorman should have it.

The two tabs that have gripper surfaces on them just move back and that "clamp" simply slides off of the connection.

You guys are right as usual, when I looked at it some small pieces of plastic fell out of it so somehow I thought it was broke. Went out and gave it a closer exam and I guess it's ok.
Thanks Guys
