• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford A/C compressor stud, a threaded stud built on the HB3 base used to mount the air conditioning compressor to the engine. Ford dealer catalogs list it as an A/C Compressor Stud and Compressor Mount Bolt, and it appears in the air conditioning compressor assembly diagrams as the fastener that locates and clamps the compressor to its bracket. It threads into the engine or bracket and provides a fixed shoulder so a nut can clamp the compressor firmly in place against belt tension and vibration. You will find it used across a range of Ford and Lincoln applications including Edge, Escape, Maverick, Corsair, MKC, and Nautilus across engines such as 2.0L, 2.3L turbo, and 2.5L, with applications spanning a broad range of model years. These are representative examples rather than a complete list, since Ford shares this hardware across applications using the same compressor mounting. A loose, missing, or corroded compressor stud lets the compressor shift, which causes belt misalignment, noise, vibration, and possible refrigerant leaks at the connections. Because the compressor is belt-driven and refrigerant-charged, the mounting hardware must be installed correctly and torqued to the Ford specification. Confirm the correct stud for your specific vehicle and engine against your VIN before ordering, since A/C mounting hardware varies by application.
