  Axle Tube Mount Bolt, Differential Carrier Bolt, Bolt And Washer Assembly Hex.Head

• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford front differential carrier bolt, a bolt and washer assembly that Ford dealer catalogs list under the name Bolt and Washer Assembly Hex Head, used to mount the front differential carrier and front axle hardware. It appears in the front differential carrier and front axle assembly diagrams and is named in a Ford front-differential-mount technical service bulletin, where it clamps the differential carrier or its mount firmly to the subframe or crossmember so the carrier stays located and resists the torque and load transmitted through the front driveline. You will find it used on Ford applications including the Ranger and Explorer front differential family, with applications spanning a broad range of model years. These are representative examples rather than a complete list, since Ford shares this hardware across applications that use the same front differential design. A loose, missing, or corroded carrier bolt lets the front differential shift in its mount, which causes a clunking or banging on acceleration and deceleration, driveline vibration, and accelerated wear of the mount and surrounding components. Because the differential carrier is a driveline component that transmits significant torque, its mounting hardware is torque-sensitive and must be installed correctly and torqued to the Ford specification, and replaced if it shows wear or corrosion during service. Confirm the correct bolt for your specific vehicle and drivetrain against your VIN before ordering, since front differential hardware varies by application.

• Notes: Part cannot be reused/reinstalled.
