This part cross-references Ford and Lincoln OE numbers such as 2L1Z17508AB and 4L1Z17508AA for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with 2003-2008 Ford Expedition, front, linkage only, 2009-2017 Ford Expedition, front, w\/o Rain Sensitive Wipers, and 2003-2008 Lincoln Navigator, front, linkage only.
