  Lower Arm Front Bolt, Bolt

• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford suspension cross-member front bolt used in the rear suspension of the Escape. It clamps the lateral arm to the suspension crossmember, holding the arm in its correct location so rear wheel alignment, ride geometry, and load handling stay within factory specification. As a chassis fastener it carries real suspension loads, so correct grade, length, and clamp force matter for safe, predictable handling. The bolt threads into the original mounting position and matches the factory hardware for size and pitch, installing without modification on the left or right side. Drivers usually need this part during rear suspension work such as lateral arm replacement, knuckle service, bushing renewal, or alignment correction, and any time the original fastener is found corroded, stretched, or damaged during disassembly. This is a single-use, torque-to-yield style fastener that should not be reused once removed, because reusing a yielded bolt can leave it unable to hold proper clamp load and may allow the arm to shift under load. The catalog application is the Escape without all-wheel drive, where this bolt secures the front of the lateral arm at the crossmember. Manufactured to Ford specifications for a factory-quality repair, it should be installed fresh and tightened to the published specification. Inspect the mating threads and the crossmember while the fastener is out, and always replace it rather than reinstall the original.
