• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford steering gear mount bolt, an M14 by 134 millimeter bolt that secures the steering gear, also called the rack and pinion assembly, to the subframe or crossmember. Ford dealer catalogs list it as a Steering Gear Assembly Mount Bolt and Rack and Pinion Mount Bolt, and this part replaces the earlier number W714710-S439. It appears in the steering gear assembly diagrams as a mounting bolt that clamps the gear firmly in place so the rack stays rigidly located, which is essential for accurate steering response and safe vehicle control. You will find it used across a range of Ford and Lincoln applications including Explorer, Taurus, Flex, Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility, MKS, and MKT with the 3.5L engine and electric power steering, with model years spanning roughly the early 2010s into the late 2010s. These are representative examples rather than a complete list. A loose, missing, or corroded steering gear mount bolt lets the gear shift, which causes a knocking or clunking through the steering, vague or wandering steering feel, and is a serious safety concern. Because this is a torque-sensitive steering fastener, always install it correctly and torque it to the Ford specification, and replace it if it shows corrosion or thread damage during steering service. Confirm the correct bolt for your specific vehicle against your VIN before ordering, since steering hardware varies by model and configuration.
