Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1997-2010 Ford F-150, N/A; 1996-2010 Ford Mustang, N/A; 2002-2010 Ford Explorer, N/A; 1991-2011 Lincoln Town Car, N/A; and 1992-2011 Mercury Grand Marquis, N/A, with additional coverage across other listed Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models. Because this is a torque-to-yield bolt set, follow the factory tightening sequence and torque procedure exactly.
