  Bracket Fender Mounting

• Description:

  Right-hand front fender mounting bracket, also called a fender brace, for 21-25 Ford F-150 and F-150 Lightning trucks. This is the metal bracket that secures the lower front portion of the right (passenger side) front fender to the body structure, providing rigidity and alignment between the fender, the bumper assembly, and the wheel well opening. The bracket is supplied with the OEM hole pattern and stamped reinforcement geometry that matches factory production. Replacement scenarios include collision damage that distorted the bracket from a frontal or front quarter impact, corrosion that weakened the bracket attachment points, removal damage from previous bumper or fender service, or restoration during body refresh work. Installation typically requires removing the front bumper cover, the inner fender liner, and any associated splash shields to access the bracket fastener locations, then unbolting the damaged bracket from the fender and the body structure. The new bracket installs with the same fastener pattern and the torque specifications from the Ford workshop manual. Fender alignment to the door, the hood, and the headlamp assembly should be verified after the bracket is installed and the bumper is reinstalled. This bracket fits the right (passenger) side only. The companion left-side ML3Z-16A143-B is typically replaced after a centered front impact or during full front clip refresh.
