• Description:

  This Genuine Ford steering column shaft coupler bolt (W712961-S450B) is documented for Ford Fusion, plus Lincoln MKZ across multiple model years. This is a Genuine Ford steering column shaft coupler bolt, the fastener that clamps the steering column intermediate-shaft coupler or column joint; Ford service literature identifies this part as a steering column fastener and steering column shaft coupler bolt used during front-end and coupler service. It uses the standard Ford W-series bolt base in a finish-specific variant and is a multi-vehicle steering service part shared across platforms rather than one model. Dealer and service data also describe it as a steering column fastener or coupler bolt. Because it secures part of the steering path, a loose or missing bolt is safety-critical: it can produce play or a clunk in the steering and, in the worst case, allow the coupler to separate. Correct clamping keeps the shaft fully engaged. Ford service procedures specify this fastener as single-use; it is torqued to a yield-controlled spec and must be replaced rather than reused once removed, so plan on a fresh piece any time the joint is disturbed. Ford does not publish a finite vehicle list for this universal steering hardware, so confirm the exact application against your VIN before ordering so the thread and length match your column coupler.
