  Steering Gear Box Bolt, Bolt

• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford steering gear assembly mount bolt used on the Super Duty F-250 and F-350 in two-wheel-drive form and the F-450 across roughly the 08 through 16 model years, where it fastens the steering gear box to the frame rail. The Ford catalog name for this part is Gear Assembly Mount Bolt, also referenced as a steering gear box bolt, and dealer fitment specifies the F-250 and F-350 2WD chassis. It carries the reaction loads of the steering system, holding the gear rigidly located so steering input translates accurately to the linkage without flex or wander. Built to Ford's grade, thread, and clamp-load specification, it maintains correct preload on a high-stress chassis-to-gear joint that sees heavy steering effort. Using the proper original fastener matters here because a steering gear mount bolt of the wrong grade or thread can loosen or fail to hold, which compromises steering precision and safety. A buyer typically needs this bolt when removing or replacing the steering gear box, when the original is corroded or has been removed for service, or when refreshing this safety-critical joint. The bolt is supplied as a new, unused genuine Ford component matching the part used at the factory, so it threads cleanly into the original mounting position. Confirm the correct location and torque sequence against your truck's service information before installation, and inspect the gear mounting boss and frame bracket for elongation or cracks while the bolt is out.
