• Fits a broad range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles from 1996-2011
• Supports proper sealing at the intake/throttle body connection
• Part number ATB4026 for easy identification

Detailed Description

The Apex ATB4026 is a throttle body mounting gasket used in air and fuel delivery sealing applications. It is listed for many Ford truck, SUV, van, and passenger car platforms, including 1996-2011 Ford Crown Victoria, 1996-2004 Ford Mustang, 1997-2006 Ford F-150, 1997-2004 Ford Expedition, and related Lincoln and Mercury models. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. If you are replacing a worn throttle body gasket on a Ford F-150, Lincoln Town Car, or Mercury Grand Marquis, ATB4026 is the part number to verify against your vehicle’s exact configuration.

What It Helps Address

• Air leaks at the throttle body mounting surface
• Rough or unstable idle caused by sealing wear
• Driveability issues related to intake vacuum leakage
• Throttle body service where the original gasket is damaged or compressed
• Maintenance on Ford Crown Victoria, Mustang, F-150, and Expedition throttle body assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the throttle body style and mounting location before installation, especially on applications noted as throttle body to adapter. Clean both mating surfaces thoroughly and inspect for warpage, carbon buildup, or old gasket residue before assembly. Verify fitment by year, make, model, and engine configuration before ordering ATB4026.

Quality Assurance

Apex identifies this gasket as a dedicated sealing component for the listed applications. Use the vehicle fitment data and part number ATB4026 to confirm the correct replacement for your Ford, Lincoln, or Mercury application.
