• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford bolt, a standardized threaded fastener that Ford dealer catalogs list under the generic name Bolt because no descriptive function name is published for it. It is documented as a service fastener in Ford parts-list diagrams, where it appears as one of the fasteners called out in a rear step and cover assembly grouping alongside related hardware such as a door lock striker plate, luggage compartment handle, and rivets. Its role is to clamp a bracket, panel, or trim component to the body or to a mating assembly and hold it at the correct position under load. Fasteners in this family are shared across many Ford and Lincoln platforms and model years, so the same part number can appear on cars, SUVs, and trucks built across a broad span of years rather than on a single model. Because Ford does not publish a finite list of every application for a shared service fastener like this one, the examples above are representative rather than complete. A loose, missing, or corroded bolt of this type lets the component it secures shift, rattle, or separate, which can lead to looseness, noise, or eventual failure of the attached part. Replacing it with the correct genuine fastener restores the proper clamp load and thread fit. Because this bolt is used in many different positions and assemblies, confirm the exact fastener required for your specific vehicle against your VIN before ordering.
