Are you talking about a truck or a van? the F350 is a truck but the club wagon is a Van. What motor and trans. Let me know and I will be more than happy to help you out.

It is a E350 Van,302V8.I just went to the local ford deal and got a copy of the instructions how to do it,but how are you supposed to get a wrench in from the back side and reach the stem nut inside the shock bracket .It don't make sense to me.How much clearance is there supposed to be between the fender well and the bracket?I had a little nose bump,but it looks the same spacing as the right side shock.I'm no ace mechanic but I do have some common sense..

I am not an expert on the vans at all. A friend of mine has one though. I will check his out at work tonight and see what his looks like.
