Detailed Description

Dorman 679-535 is a standard replacement catalytic converter built for rear-position service on 2011-2015 Ford Edge, 2011-2015 Lincoln MKX, and 2011-2012 Ford Explorer models.

Common Repair Uses

• Replacing a damaged or rusted rear catalytic converter
• Restoring exhaust flow after converter substrate failure
• Addressing exhaust leaks at the flanged connection points
• Repairing a converter with a failed sensor-port-related issue
• Returning the exhaust system to OE-style fit on listed Ford and Lincoln vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear position and confirm the vehicle is not CARB-compliant before ordering. Match the inlet and outlet flange configuration, sensor port location, and overall length to the original converter before installation. Inspect adjoining exhaust components, gaskets, and mounting points for wear or corrosion so the replacement seals correctly on the Ford Edge, Lincoln MKX, or Ford Explorer application.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs this catalytic converter as a precision-engineered replacement for specific vehicle years, makes, and models, with fit and function aligned to the original equipment layout.
