• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford catalytic converter mounting stud catalogued under specification W717496-S900, used at the exhaust flange to secure the catalytic converter on the Transit van. Catalogued as a Catalytic Converter Stud, it threads into the exhaust manifold or converter flange so a nut can clamp the joint, holding the converter in alignment and sealing the high-temperature connection against exhaust leaks. Because the stud lives in a hot, corrosive exhaust environment, it is prone to seizing or breaking during service, which is exactly why it is supplied as a renewable fastener. Technicians replace this stud during catalytic converter replacement, manifold service, or whenever a corroded or snapped stud is found while chasing an exhaust leak, ticking noise, or a check-engine light tied to converter efficiency. The Transit application covers the 3.2L diesel and 3.5L EcoBoost configurations, where the converter flange hardware is shared. Manufactured to Ford specifications, it provides the correct thread form, length, and heat tolerance for the exhaust flange and installs in the original location without modification. Always apply suitable anti-seize where appropriate, torque the retaining nut to specification, and confirm the flange and gasket surfaces are clean and flat so the joint seals fully. Renewing the stud restores a secure, leak-free converter mounting on the Transit exhaust system.
