Steering Damper question

I just picked up a stock steering damper and mounting bracket for my recently purchased 1999 F-250 Super Duty. Does anyone have a link or directions for installing this on my truck?

Thanks!

It should be pretty straight forward. If your drag link (the one that goes across the front end) has the two grooves, mount the mount where it locks into them. Install the dampener between this mount and the axle/frame mount.

The tie rod bracket should fit fine. Your tie rod will have 2 sets of grooves that the u-bolts will fit in (the tie rod is too thick for the u-bolts to fit around. On my 2003, the u-bolts go on the set that is the driver's side of the 2 grooves. As for the bracket next to the wheel, I don't know if it's part of the steering assembly or if you can bolt that on too.
