  Alternator Bracket Bolt, Bolt Hex.Head

• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford alternator mount bolt, a hex-head fastener that secures the alternator or its mounting bracket to the engine front accessory area. Ford dealer catalogs list it under the names Alternator Mount Bolt and Alternator Bracket Bolt, and it is cataloged within the charging and starting system hardware group. It holds the alternator firmly against its bracket and the engine so the unit stays in alignment with the serpentine belt and does not shift under engine vibration or belt tension. You will find fasteners in this family used across a wide range of Ford and Lincoln vehicles spanning roughly the mid 2010s to the mid 2020s, covering many car, SUV, and truck applications and a variety of engine displacements. These are representative examples rather than a complete list, since Ford shares this hardware across numerous platforms. A loose, missing, or corroded alternator mount bolt allows the alternator to move, which causes belt squeal, belt misalignment, accelerated belt and pulley wear, a knocking or rattling noise from the front of the engine, and in severe cases charging system problems if the alternator shifts far enough to affect belt grip. Replacing a worn or rusted bolt during alternator or accessory service restores the correct clamp load and keeps the unit properly located. Because alternator mounting hardware varies by engine and bracket design, confirm the correct bolt for your specific vehicle against your VIN before ordering.
