• Description:

  This genuine Ford running board reinforcement, cataloged by Ford as a Running Board Reinforcement, is the structural bracket that mounts and supports the side running board to the body so the step can carry a person's weight when entering and exiting the vehicle. It adds rigidity to the running board assembly and spreads stepping loads into the body structure, keeping the board firmly located and preventing flex, sag, and rattle. It fits 2007-2017 Ford Expedition. A buyer shopping for this reinforcement is typically dealing with a running board that feels loose, sags, shifts, or rattles under foot, or has found the original bracket bent, cracked, or rusted through after years of use, road salt, and weather. Replacing the reinforcement restores a solid, secure step and proper alignment of the board along the body side. The Ford catalog notes this piece is a gloss finish component associated with the step, so it should be matched to the correct side and position on the vehicle. Ford recommends inspecting the related mounting hardware and the running board itself during installation, and torquing the fasteners securely so the reinforced step is safe to stand on and stays rattle-free over rough roads. As a Ford OEM component it is built to the original form and mounting pattern for a correct, dependable fit.

• Notes: Included with running board.
