• Description:

  The W703175-S437 is a genuine Ford stud used to mount the alternator and its bracket to the engine. Dealer catalogs carry it under the dominant names Alternator Stud and Engine Mount Stud, describing it as the alternator-to-engine mounting stud in the charging-system section, in an M10 thread size. It is documented on the Ford Fiesta across 1.5L and 1.6L engines, including turbo and non-turbo with both manual and automatic transmissions, over several model years, and is also shared with Escape, Fusion and Transit Connect; treat those as representative examples rather than a complete vehicle list, because Ford reuses one stud across related engines and model years. A mounting stud threads into the engine and gives the alternator bracket a fixed post to seat on, with a nut clamping the bracket down; this locates the alternator precisely so the drive belt stays aligned. When the stud is stripped, corroded, bent or missing, the alternator can sit misaligned, the belt can track poorly, and the bracket can work loose under engine vibration. Replacing it with the correct genuine stud restores secure, aligned mounting. Because the suffix code denotes a specific thread size, length and grade, confirm fit for your exact Fiesta or other model by VIN before ordering rather than relying on the sample applications above.
