• Description:

  The W705048-S442 is a genuine Ford hexagon head bolt built on the HB1 base, used at the upper end of the rear shock absorber and its bushing on the rear suspension. Dealer catalogs carry it under the dominant names Upper Bushing Upper Bolt and Bolt - Shock (Upper), in left, right, rear-upper and upper positions, and file it in the rear suspension and leaf-spring hardware. Documented sample applications where this exact service number is cataloged include the Ford Transit and Transit Connect; treat those as representative examples rather than a complete vehicle list, because Ford reuses one suspension bolt across related platforms and model years and does not publish a single finite fitment chart for it. This bolt passes through the shock eye and its upper bushing into the mounting bracket and is torqued to clamp the damper to the body so it can control wheel motion without play; because it carries cyclic suspension loads, correct grade and torque matter. When it is loose, stretched, corroded or missing, the shock can knock, shift in its bushing or lose its upper mounting, degrading ride control and allowing noise. Replacing it with the correct genuine bolt restores a secure, properly torqued upper shock mount. Because the suffix code denotes a specific thread size, length, grade and finish, confirm fit for your exact vehicle by VIN before ordering rather than relying on the sample applications above.
