  Ignition Lock Housing Bolt, Steering Column Bolt, Bolt

• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford ignition lock housing bolt, a flange-head fastener that secures the ignition lock cylinder housing to the steering column on the Escape, Focus and the closely related Mercury Mariner of this generation. The bolt clamps the lock housing solidly against the column so the ignition switch and key cylinder stay rigidly located, which is essential for smooth key operation and reliable starting. Owners typically need this bolt when servicing or replacing the ignition lock cylinder, steering column lock, or the column shrouds, since the original flange bolt is often damaged, stripped, or left behind during disassembly. A loose or missing housing bolt can let the lock cylinder shift, causing a sloppy-feeling key, intermittent crank conditions, or a column that rattles. Catalogued as a steering column flange bolt, it is engineered to factory torque and thread specifications and installs in the original location without modification. The flange head spreads clamp load across the housing boss to resist loosening from steering-column vibration. Inspect the lock housing and the mating threads in the column casting while the bolt is out, and replace any fastener that shows thread damage. Built to Ford specifications, it restores the correct fit and finish of the original column hardware and keeps the ignition lock assembly properly seated for dependable everyday operation.
