• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford CV intermediate shaft bolt, a hex-head fastener that secures the intermediate halfshaft support bracket on the 2013 through 2019 Explorer and Flex, along with the related Police Interceptor Sedan, built with the 3.5L and 3.7L V6 engines. Catalogued as an intermediate shaft and bracket bolt, it clamps the bearing-supported intermediate shaft that connects the transaxle output to the right-side front halfshaft, holding the shaft and its support bearing firmly in place. Proper clamp load matters because a support bracket that works loose allows the intermediate shaft to shift under power, producing vibration on acceleration, a clunk on engagement, or premature wear of the support bearing and the inner CV joint. Buyers reach for this bolt when replacing the intermediate shaft, the support bearing, or a front halfshaft, or when the original fastener is corroded or missing after a prior repair. Built to factory thread and torque specifications, it installs in the original location without modification and restores the secure mounting the all-wheel-drive and front-wheel-drive systems rely on. Inspect the threaded boss and the bracket for damage while the bolt is out, and tighten to the published specification on reassembly. Manufactured to Ford standards, it matches the original fit and finish and keeps the intermediate shaft support solidly clamped for smooth, quiet operation.
