  Suspension Shock Absorber Mounting Bolt, Upper Bracket Bolt, Bolt And Washer Assembly Hex.Head

• Description:

  This is the genuine Ford suspension shock absorber mounting bolt, cataloged by Ford as a hex head bolt and washer in the M12 by 36MM size for the rear position, listed under Ford's own hardware and fasteners section. It is a shared service fastener used across multiple Ford lines rather than a single model specific item, which is why Ford lists it in the generic hardware group instead of under one vehicle. The bolt clamps the rear shock absorber or strut mounting eye to its bracket on the axle, knuckle, or body, and the integrated washer face spreads clamp load across the bushing sleeve so the rubber bushing is preloaded correctly and the damper can articulate without the joint working loose. Buyers reach for this fastener when the original bolt has seized in the shock bushing sleeve and had to be cut out during a shock replacement, when road salt corrosion has eaten the shank or rounded the head, when threads are stripped or galled, or when a clunk, knock, or rattle over bumps traces back to a loose or undersized shock bolt. It is also routinely replaced during a rear shock or strut service so the new damper gets clean hardware. Torque the bolt to the specification in the Ford workshop procedure for the specific vehicle, and tighten suspension fasteners with the vehicle at normal ride height so the bushings are not preloaded in a twisted position. Using the correct Ford fastener preserves the intended clamp load and thread engagement rather than substituting a generic bolt of the wrong grade.
