Big piece of steel on the rear end

[NewToFord]

I just had my rear end completly rebuilt. The guy took that piece of steel off of the top. Is that piece neceassry? It is the big heavy piece and I think its kind of u-shaped.

The Dogbone bolts to the bottom side of the pumpkin, it is there to reduce harmonic vibrations.

anybody?

No, it's there to keep down on NVH. If you develop a vibration at speed, then try putting it back on. Most people just throw it out. Mine is long gone.
