• Description:

  Genuine Ford Lower Coupling 8L8Z-3B676-E is the lower intermediate steering shaft coupling and universal joint for the 2008-2012 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner. It connects the lower end of the steering shaft to the steering gear input, transmitting the driver's steering input through a working angle while allowing the shaft to change direction between the column and the rack. A worn coupling introduces play and lash into the steering system. Buyers searching for this part are usually chasing a clunk or knock felt through the steering wheel over bumps or when turning at low speed, a loose or vague on-center feel, notchy or binding steering, or a popping and rattling noise on turns that points to a failing joint. Because it is a safety-critical steering component, using the genuine Ford part ensures the correct spline fit, joint tolerances and clamp bolt so the repair is solid and the steering stays tight and predictable. The Ford catalog names include Lower Coupling and Coupling and U-Joint - Steering Shaft, Lower. This is a genuine Ford component and carries the applicable Ford and Motorcraft parts warranty.
