Detailed Description

Dorman 14118 is engineered to match the performance of original equipment wheel hub bolts used to retain the hub assembly at the front knuckle or spindle. The fine-thread, 14 mm steel bolt is specified for front applications on 2004-2023 Ford F-150, 2007-2024 Ford Expedition, 2007-2024 Lincoln Navigator, 2022-2023 Ford F-150 Lightning, and 2006-2014 Lincoln Mark LT. This part number, 14118, is a practical OE-style replacement when the original fastener has damaged threads or worn hex corners.

This part cross-references Ford service numbers W706890S426 and W706890S439 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Rounded-off hub bolt heads that no longer accept a socket properly
• Damaged or stripped threads at the wheel hub mounting point
• Loose or compromised hub-to-knuckle retention caused by worn fasteners
• Front hub service issues on Ford F-150 and Lincoln Navigator platforms
• Replacement needs after corrosion or fastener wear during suspension or hub repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread diameter, thread pitch, hex size, and length against the removed fastener before installation. Clean the mating surfaces and inspect the hub, knuckle, and spindle threads for damage before tightening. Use the correct torque specification for the vehicle and application, and confirm front-position fitment for your exact model year before service. Dorman 14118 is listed for front use only on the vehicles shown in the fitment data.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs this wheel hub bolt to align with OE-style fitment and fastening requirements for the specified Ford and Lincoln front hub applications. The steel construction and 10.9 grade support consistent service replacement for hub retention hardware.
